Textbook Of Growth, Development & Behavioural Paediatrics (Iap)

Textbook of Growth, Development & Behavioral Pediatrics (IAP) is a comprehensive and authoritative resource that focuses on the multidimensional aspects of child development and behavior. Published by Jaypee Medical Publishers in collaboration with the Indian Academy of Pediatrics (IAP), this first edition is meticulously designed to serve pediatricians, postgraduate students, and healthcare professionals involved in child care and developmental assessment.

The book systematically addresses physical growth monitoring, neurodevelopmental milestones, behavioral assessments, and early detection of developmental delays. It provides in-depth coverage of conditions such as autism spectrum disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, and behavioral challenges in various pediatric age groups. Each chapter integrates clinical guidelines, case-based scenarios, and evidence-based practices aligned with both national and international protocols.

Emphasizing early intervention and holistic child care, the text incorporates tools for screening, diagnostic evaluation, and management strategies. It also explores the psychosocial, cultural, and environmental factors that influence child development, particularly within the Indian context. The use of illustrations, tables, developmental charts, and flow diagrams enhances comprehension and facilitates clinical application.

This book serves as a vital academic and practical guide, empowering clinicians to provide timely, accurate, and compassionate care to children with developmental and behavioral concerns.
