This text is an excellent reference book and one well worth having. - Barbara Y. Whitman in PsycCRITIQUES This handbook is exceptional! It creatively examines issues intrinsic to the nature, assessment and remediation of language disorders in children. Original presentation and arrangement of information makes it very readable, albeit intellectually demanding... This is enlightening and practically informative on the bases and contexts of specific language impairments on the autistic spectrum... This is a 'must' for everyone involved with children who have a language disorder, clinicians, researchers, students or teachers. A comprehensive resource which has successfully brought state of the art, contemporary information together in one compact handbook. - Briege McClean in Speech & Language Therapy in Practice This creatively conceived volume not only provides a cutting-edge exploration of our current understanding of language disorders in children, it also points to likely future developments through its description of emerging methods and theories. The impressive group of contributors cogently represent the wide range of disciplines with interests in this population. Their writing is provocative, yet accessible to readers at many levels of expertise and from many disciplines. In short, this is a book that I will buy for my own library, then thrust upon colleagues, students, and anyone else who studies or treats children with language disorders. It seems destined to become a classic. - Professor Rebecca McCauley, University of Vermont
