The speakers will present the latest findings from their investigations as well as those from other researchers. The emphasis will not only be on new models and techniques of clinical assessment, but also on new approaches for remediation of cognitive deficits in the developing child. The speakers will emphasize practical tools that clinicians and educators can use in their work with children. The program is intended for neuropsychologists, clinical psychologists, school psychologists, speech therapists, learning specialists, educators, psychiatrists, neurologists, and other interested health professionals.
