Reviews

Chris Dollaghan, School of Behavioral and Brain SciencesUniversity of Texas at Dallas
“Comprehensive and superbly readable ... synthesizes the state of the art, and the state of the evidence, on the broad spectrum of interventions for children with language disorders and other language-related challenges.”

Elena Plante, The University of Arizona
“This is the eagerly awaited second edition of a now seminal text for child language disorders. This comprehensive volume provides an invaluable resource on the state-of-the-science concerning current treatment approaches. It should be on the desk of every practitioner who treats children with communication disorders.”

Rhea Paul, Sacred Heart University
“This volume provides an updated version of an indispensable resource for speech-language pathologists. Like its first edition, it uses a structured format for each chapter to review a range of interventions that have some evidentiary support in the literature. Each chapter clearly outlines the approach, the population for which it is appropriate, its theoretical foundation as well as the studies that support it. The second edition adds the most recent evidence from the literature, and includes additional interventions, making it even more relevant to contemporary practice. Every SLP who delivers intervention to children should own this book.”
