The last 25 years however have seen several neurological measures being developed to aid in this diagnosis, with treatment further branching out to include psychologists, psychiatrists, specialised nurses and neuroscientists, as well as clinical practioners. As such, this book contains a review of the most important neuropsychological measures currently used in the assessment of dementia by the principal clinicians and researchers associated with the tests. Clinicians and research workers, who have been at the forefront in developing the tests in question, provide clear practical guidance on the scope of each test, as well as an analysis of their accuracy and limitations. The international team of distinguished contributors have brought together a concise and practical guide to the multi-disciplinary work now encouraged to manage these disabilities; using their own personal experience, this title further analyses the effectiveness of the many popular treatment programs and approaches The end result is a comprehensive and authoritative volume which provides an essential handbook reference for all those working in the field of dementia and intellectual disabilities. 606 $aDementia$xDiagnosis 606 $aDown syndrome$xPatients$xMental health 606 $aPeople with mental disabilities$xMental health 615 0$aDementia$xDiagnosis. 615 0$aDown syndrome$xPatients$xMental health. 615 0$aPeople with mental disabilities$xMental health. 676 $a616.83 701 $aPrasher$b Vee P$0868456 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819199203321 996 $aNeuropsychological assessments of dementia in Down syndrome and intellectual disabilities$94191589 997 $aUNINA
