Overview

Chapters written by leading authorities offer perspectives on the origins and development of language disorders. They address the question: how can the child's linguistic environment be restructured so that children at risk can develop important adaptive skills in the domains of self-care, social interaction and problem solving? This theory based, but practical book emphasizes the importance of accurate definitions of subtypes for assessment and intervention.. It should be of interest to students, researchers and practitioners in the field of developmental language disorders.
