other clinicians, therapists, and practitioners to assist parents in
making informed decisions based on current research. It offers an
overview of communication disorders in children and adolescents that
typically present before adulthood. The book describes current
assessment, diagnostic procedures, and evidence-based interventions.

parents, making referrals, and collaborating with other providers. The

types such as language impairment, stuttering, language disabilities,
and hearing impairment. In addition, the book offers guidance on
how to speak about care planning as well as quality of life issues
related to communication disorders with other caregivers and parents.
