This book presents a systematic and interdisciplinary framework bridging cutting-edge developmental neuroscience, behavioral pediatrics, and pediatric rehabilitation medicine. Grounded in the foundational chain of “brain development—critical periods—neuroplasticity—functional reorganization,” this volume provides comprehensive insights into the pathological mechanisms of and therapeutic interventions for pediatric neurodevelopmental conditions.
Focusing on common pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders—including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), and Intellectual Disability—the book investigates the critical developmental windows across motor, linguistic, sensory-perceptual, and socio-emotional domains. To achieve optimal functional reconstruction, the volume combines neuromodulation modalities (such as TMS and tDCS) with physical movement therapies and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Crucially, it explores emerging intelligent technologies that are redefining pediatric care, notably virtual reality (VR) training, robotic-assisted rehabilitation, smart wearables, and AI-driven personalized rehabilitation prescription. Furthermore, it highlights the integration of family training, educational support, and multidisciplinary collaborative networks.
With its rigorous scientific foundation and practical clinical orientation, this book serves as an invaluable reference for pediatricians, rehabilitation therapists, neuroscientists, special educators, and biomedical engineers, as well as graduate students in related disciplines.
