Beschreibung

Available to healthcare professionals for the first time, this book contains proven screening tests to measure neuromotor immaturity in children and adults in order to provide a basis for referral and help. * Allows practitioners to screen for disorders of movement that can negatively affect educational performance and emotional function in children and adolescents * Assesses instances where disorders of movement in adults are affecting thoughts and behavior, as in panic disorder * Provides a novel approach for health care professionals observing aberrant reflexes in the absence of more serious pathology * Includes reproducible scoring and observation sheets for practice and serves as the perfect complement to Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning
