Publisher's Synopsis
For courses in communication disorders and language disorders.
Assessments and interventions for children with language problems.
Taking a functional approach, Language Disorders, 6/e focuses on children's language problems from a holistic perspective. Unlike other language disorders texts, it moves logically from assessment through intervention emphasising universal techniques that work for all delays and disorders. With over 1200 new references, it provides a strong theoretical background and emphasises evidence-based practices. This edition includes a new chapter on early communication intervention, more on language analysis, coverage of Specific Language Impairment, and more on augmentative and alternative communication.
