Free Download Disorders of Attention (Neural Network Model: Applications and Implications)
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031787315 | 451 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 12 MB
This is the fourth book in the Neural Network series. It proposes an entirely new model for assessing and understanding how issues with attention are manifested. Currently, most individuals with deficit in attentional functioning are labeled with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. This is because the current nosology is behaviorally driven and the target behavior for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is the end stage global behavior, attention. The use of this nosology results in a large number of related but neuroanatomically different issues, from a neural network perspective, being lumped together. This results in a homogenous approach to the treatment of a heterogeneous cluster of problems and impedes research into the actual underlying network properties of specific forms of attentional problems.

Free Download Sarah Spencer, "Supporting Adolescents with Language Disorders"
English | ISBN: 1907826343 | 2018 | 315 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book brings together what we know about adolescents with language disorders in order to argue for increased access to quality assessment, intervention services, and to robust educational support. Chapters in Part I summarize what we know about this population and presents the challenges faced by young people with language disorders during this unique life stage. Chapters cover: our current understanding of language disorders, methods for listening to and working with adolescents, adolescent mental health, and the relevance of language disorders in youth justice contexts. Chapters in Part II provide details of interventions which have a sound theoretical rationale and evidence-base, related to vocabulary, grammar, narrative skills, Augmentative and Alternative Communication, and social communication skills. Chapters in Part III discuss ways that schools can support adolescents with language disorders through collaboration with speech and language therapists. With contributions from an international team of researchers and clinicians, the book will enable readers to better support adolescents with language disorders, and consider how interventions can be designed to increase language abilities and maximize inclusion within education and beyond.

For people with aphasia, clinicians are encouraged to consider not only language but also executive functions, attention, memory, and visuospatial skills. This edition begins with a review of the basics of brain-behavior relationships and pertinent medical terminology for treating individuals who have a neurological impairment. Each disorder is then introduced in a case-based format that includes a case scenario with a photo, functional analysis of the patient, critical thinking/learning activities, a diagnostic profile, the new Target Assessment Snapshot, treatment considerations, and a Venn diagram of the A-FROM Model with patient goals for each case. Special features include "Test Your Knowledge" sections based on 10 patient scenarios along with an answer key, a Quick Reference Diagnostic Chart for ALDs, and a Functional Communication Connections worksheet for treatment planning purposes.

Free Download Enzymes in Neurodegenerative Disorders: Mechanism and Therapeutic Potentials
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819768217 | 357 Pages | EPUB (True) | 16 MB
This book delves into the correlation between different enzymes and neurodegenerative disorders. It investigates the intricate processes that contribute to the decline of cognitive functions, memory impairment, and other incapacitating symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. The book examines the roles of diverse enzymes in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and their effects on the motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis, and eventual fatality. Moreover, it examines the association between depression and the enzymes responsible, providing a fresh viewpoint on the biochemical foundation of this ailment.
