The Cross-Battery Assessment (XBA) approach to identifying a specific learning disorder (SLD) is based on the postulate that deficits in cognitive abilities presence of otherwise average general intelligence are causally related academic achievement weaknesses. To examine this postulate, we conducted classification agreement analysis using Woodcock-Johnson III Tests Cognitive Abilities and Achievement. We examined broad Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory held be meaningfully basic reading, reading...

Objectives: The neurocognitive profile of patients who have undergone spring-assisted surgery (SAS) for craniosynostosis is not well understood, and a variety different cognitive measures been used across various studies. Although neuropsychological evaluations can document strengths weaknesses number areas, they be time consuming. This study aimed to: (1) describe the underwent SAS using both common intelligence measure iPad assisted testing measuring several as parent ratings; (2) better...
Pediatric patients with complex cardiac diagnoses are at increased risk for physical, cognitive, and developmental complications. Formalized school support [i.e., individualized education programs (IEPs), Section 504 Accommodation Plans (Section Plans)] that addresses the needs of these is necessary, hospital-based (HBSPs) have potential to bolster acquisition academic support. In this pilot study, we look impact one such HBSP.
