Language Disorders in Children: An Evidence-Based Approach to Assessment and Treatment

" It is one of the most lucid texts I have had the pleasure to read in a long time. I commend the authors on the obvious amount of work they have invested." -- "Donna J. Crowley, Florida State University" " I was extremely impressed with this manuscript." -- "Roberta L. Wacker-Mundy, State University of New York at Plattsburg" " The inclusion of ["Establishing Basic Language Skills"] is remarkable! Often times, authors ' overlook' the basic areas by focusing on age specific skills. The concept that basic skills are not necessarily age specific needs to be written about more!" -- "Kerri R. Phillips, Louisiana Tech University" With a comprehensive view of evidence-based assessment and treatment of language disorders in children, this text presents treatment procedures in clear and simple language. Useful for students, instructors, and practicing clinicians, "Language Disorders in Children: An Evidence-Based Approach to Assessment and Treatment" provides an all-encompassing look at the treatment of language disorders in various clinical populations, including children with autism, developmental disability, hearing loss, and neurological impairment. Highlights: A review of research evidence throughout allows students and practicing clinicians to critically evaluate procedures before accepting or rejecting them. Practical and jargon-free descriptions of theoretical concepts and treatment procedures ensure clinicians can readily implement the procedures in their practice. Boxes, margin notes, chapter summaries, and study guides engage the learner through interesting stories and illuminating case studies.M.N.
