The authors offer needed analysis of a variety of languages and unique multilingual perspectives for some of the most prevalent child language disorders. This approach simultaneously widens our perspective and sharpens our understanding of how to better serve the child and the family sitting before us seeking our insight and guidance. I plan to use it in my classes. Catherine Crowley, Teachers College, Columbia University, USA This comprehensive book is a most welcome and highly necessary addition to the growing body of research on multilingual children, exploring the language of multilingual children from two complementary angles never addressed before under one umbrella. The authors combine immense scholastic depth with unique clinical experience in providing the reader with an enhanced understanding of language disorders in different societal and clinical situations. An invaluable resource for every clinician or researcher working in such settings. Sharon Armon-Lotem, Bar Ilan University, Israel
