Abstract "Thoroughly updated to meet the needs of today's students in communication sciences and disorders programs, Language Disorders: A Functional Approach to Assessment and Intervention, in Children, Seventh Edition is a comprehensive overview of language disorders and clinical practice with a focus on the child's overall communication effectiveness. Unlike other texts that have a disorder-specific focus, this book emphasizes a functional and holistic approach to assessment and intervention by shifting the perspective to how a child uses the language feature targeted and how assessment can consider language as it's used. The author presents intervention methods in a system of least prompts, followed by information on each area of language and literacy. Generalization is foremost throughout the text"-- Provided by publisher.
