Children's language and communication difficulties

de Julie Dockrell, David J. Messer

"Children's Language and Communication Difficulties offers professionals and parents an up-to-date account of the developmental language problems that children experience, the provision available to meet the child's needs, and the long-term impact of language difficulties." "The authors examine the problems of identification and diagnosis, and explore the range of physical and cognitive disabilities associated with language problems. They have also looked closely at alternative forms of communication and have provided the reader with discussion and evaluation of recently developed intervention techniques."--Jacket.
