Spanning the entire child developmental period, Language Disorders from Infancy Through Adolescence, 6th Edition is the go-to text for learning evidence-based methods for assessing childhood language disorders and providing scientifically based treatment. The most comprehensive title available on childhood language disorders, it uses a descriptive-developmental approach to present basic concepts and vocabulary, an overview of key issues and controversies, the scope of communicative difficulties that make up child language disorders, and information on how language pathologists approach the assessment and intervention processes. This edition also features significant updates in research, trends, neurodiversity, cultural diversity, and best practices. An eBook, included with print purchase, provides access to all the text, figures, references, and bonus video clips, with the ability to search, customize content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
