Today we give you our third pediatric clinical case with Dr. Sakina Butt. Sakina is a neuropsychologist and the neuropsych postdoctoral fellowship training director at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital; she is board certified in clinical neuropsychology and in the pediatric subspecialty. For this case, Sakina talks about a toddler with neonatal abstinence syndrome whom she saw for a neuropsychological evaluation. Just like for the first two cases with Sakina we found this to be an interesting window into a very unique world of neuropsychology, working with very young children. It’s well worth it for all of us to consider how to measure brain behavior relationships and promote healthy development in young brains.
