Pennington, Department of Psychology, University of Denver ?No student of cognitive development and cognitive disorders can do without this book. It is a milestone in steady progress of evidence-based knowledge that is ripe for transfer to the school and to the clinic.? ?Uta Frith, Emeritus Professor of Cognitive Development, UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience ?A scholarly and well-organized account of the field. The book is authoritative because the authors themselves have conducted major research projects on all of the conditions featured in the text.? ?Dorothy Bishop, Professor of Developmental Neuropsychology, Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford ?An outstandingly good book. The authors are obviously masters of the science. The book argues persuasively for the need to take a developmental perspective.? ?Professor Sir Michael Rutter, Institute of Psychiatry, London ?In this outstanding book, the authors cover the full range of developmental disorders associated with language and cognition.
