- Summarises group evidence in ADHD, dyslexia and oppositional defiant disorder
- Adds unpublished single-case examples
A review of recent QEEG findings in childhood developmental disorders, set against the growth of normative databases and modern source-imaging methods. It frames QEEG as a tool for personalised care, grouping patients by their EEG profile to anticipate how they will respond to treatment. The review covers group studies in ADHD, developmental dyslexia and oppositional defiant disorder, together with previously unpublished individual cases.
