This book addresses assessment and intervention for children and adolescents with developmental language disorders. The first section discusses assessment and target selection for children across a broad span of ages (birth to 3 through postsecondary education) and also addresses the topics of regional dialects, English Language Learning, and the influence of current legislation. The intervention section deals with language disorders specific to certain areas of language development (spoken language, written language, and transition and alternative modalities). A concluding chapter summarizes the information presented throughout the book and offers implications for future directions.
