Certainly, repeated examinations and experience play an important role;however,solid knowledge,strong communication skills, accurate observational skills,and use of proper techniques are crucial for eliciting and interpreting neurological signs in difficult children. Finally,apatient and empathetic physician and supportive guiding parents are needed for a successful neurological assessment.
