Campbell to Present Free Workshop on Multi-Impaired Children

Dr. Ronald S. Federici, clinical director of Neuropsychological and Family Therapy Associates of Alexandria, VA, will present a free workshop on the evaluation and treatment of psychologically impaired children. The workshop is scheduled for Saturday, March 19, from 9 a.m. -1 p.m. in Room 122 of Campbell University’s Lundy-Fetterman School of Business.
A total of three sessions will feature an overview of comprehensive assessment necessary for treatment of traumatized and deprived children; intensive family therapy, including behavioral management programs and cognitive-reality approaches for therapists and families; and management of the most severely disturbed children in foster care or domestic or internationally adopted settings.
Dr. Ronald Federici has 20 years experience in complex neuropsychiatric evaluations with children having significant neurodevelopmental and emotional difficulties. He is a professional consultant to numerous schools, mental health clinics, pediatric and adolescent medicine clinics, court service units and adoption groups, and is frequently called upon to perform “second opinions” for the most difficult to diagnose cases. He also works extensively in forensic neuropsychology and has served as an expert witness in cases involving the assessment and rehabilitation of traumatic brain injury or other neurological disorders. His published works include numerous articles and a book, “Help for the Hopeless Child: A Guide for Families.”
Federici serves as president of Care for Children International, Inc., a humanitarian aid organization that provides medical care, supplies, training, and education to the Romanian Department of Child Protective Services, and holds an honorary position as chief medical consultant regarding institutionalized children in Romania. He has also been involved in extensive lobbying efforts in Washington to improve the policies and procedures for international adoptions and offered expert professional testimony to for U.S. Senator Jesse Helms and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee regarding the problems involved with international adoptions.
