This book outlines the course of normal speech and language development, then provides a complete review of assessment methods to diagnose childhood syndromes involving language. The volume focuses on "how to approach" observation, selection of assessment procedures, interpretation of assessment results, differential diagnosis, and the establishment of treatment goals rather than on "how to" assess, diagnose, and treat language impaired children. This book brings to clinicians from all backgrounds a framework for interdisciplinary integration of speech and language disorders, and would be of interest to child psychiatrists, child psychologists, social workers, speech/language pathologists, teachers, educational therapists, and parents.Cantwell, Dennis is the author of 'Developmental Speech and Language Disorders' with ISBN 9780898624007 and ISBN 0898624002.
