This concise yet comprehensive overview of child development will be invaluable to all who work with young children (birth to eight years). Designed for easy reference, each chapter summarizes a key aspect of child development in the context of recent international research. Unique in its coverage of both normal and atypical development--including giftedness--the text uses normal development as a backdrop to understanding children affected by various developmental problems. It shows how practitioners can facilitate development and outlines the author's preferred practice in working with families. This practical text provides a fresh, multidisciplinary approach which draws on the fields of developmental psychology, early childhood education, developmental disabilities, speech and language pathology, developmental neuropsychology, pediatrics, and early intervention.
