First UK Paediatric Neuropsychology Symposium: Part I
Institute of Child Health, London, UK
19 – 23 January 2009
This 5 day course describes how cognition and aetiology are related in a range of developmental disorders. The complexity of studying a brain that is developing abnormally is illustrated by clinical case studies and syndrome profiles. Developmental disorders used to illustrate brain-behaviour relationships include neurological disorders such as epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and cerebrovascular disease as well as neurodevelopmental disorders such as autistic spectrum disorders, ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia.
