Description
Language Intervention for School-Age Students is your working manual for helping children with language learning disabilities (LLD) gain
the tools they need to succeed in school. Going beyond the common approach to language disorders in school-age populations, this innovative
resource supplements a theoretical understanding of language intervention with a wealth of practical application strategies you can use
to improve learning outcomes for children and adolescents with LLD. Well-referenced discussions with real-life examples promote evidence-based
practice. Case histories and treatment strategies help you better understand student challenges and develop reliable methods to help
them achieve their learning goals.
