To my loving wife, Michie, who for 32 years has been my best friend and supporter,
and to Dr. Richard W. Woodcock whose life’s work has inspired Denise and I and
several generations of other professional colleagues to sharpen our assessment skills with
the children we serve.
Daniel Miller
Children have always been a source of joy and inspiration for me.
A few children have come into my life and never left, and those relationships are
among my greatest treasures. The next generation is our future, and the future of
school neuro psychology is in the hearts and minds of the students I have worked with
and the children they serve.
My efforts in this book are dedicated to a special individual who has been a light in
my life since she was born and who is in the process of becoming a member of the next
generation of awesome psychologists. Sarah Ryan Reynolds, this one is for you!
Denise Maricle
