NOTE -- after making this post I've learned that I may not have had appropriate position to post a link to the PDF copy of the WJ III chapter. Thus, those URL's have been temporarily deactivated. I will reactivate if I get clearance. Sorry.
The forthcoming Handbook of Pediatric Neuropsychology (Dr. Andrew Davis) can now be pre-ordered from Springer Publishing.
A description of the book, at the publisher website, is below:
An incomplete table of contents is available at the website. The complete TOC is listed below...it includes 95 chapters...yes, that is correct!!!!! Simply a major tome.
I received an advanced copy of the chapter dealing with the WJ III Tests of Cognitive Abilities (Dr. Fred Schrank). This chapter is unique in that it is the first comprehensive presentation of research results regarding WJ III cluster and test scores on over 2,200 subjects with a variety of clinical diagnoses (ADHD, anxiety spectrum disorders, head injury, autism spectrum disorders, types of learning disabilities, MR/ID, etc.) who are part of the Woodcock-Munoz Foundation Clinical Data Base.

The forthcoming Handbook of Pediatric Neuropsychology (Dr. Andrew Davis) can now be pre-ordered from Springer Publishing.
A description of the book, at the publisher website, is below:
This handbook covers basic neurodevelopmental research that any pediatric neuropsychologist will need to know. The authors discuss practical issues in pediatric assessment, and provide a comprehensive overview of the most common medical conditions that neuropsycholoigists encounter while dealing with pediatric populations.
The book also describes a variety of professional issues that neuropsychologists must confront during their daily practice, such as ethics, multiculturalism, child abuse, forensics, and psychopharmacology. Also discussed are school-based issues such as special education law, consulting with school staff, and reintegrating children back into mainstream schools.
