Description
The new edition of this popular text provides essential guidance for properly assessing childhood language disorders and providing appropriate
treatment. Coverage includes the entire developmental period through adolescence, as well as additional concepts related to child language
disorders such as prevention, syndromes associated with language disorders, and multicultural practice. Using a descriptive-developmental
approach (also known as communication-language approach), this resource presents basic concepts and vocabulary used in the field, an
overview of key issues and controversies, an understanding of the scope of communicative difficulties that make up child language disorders,
and information on how language pathologists approach the assessment and intervention processes.
