Recent Product Reviews:

This is a simple introduction to language disorders with a basic introduction to how this can impact students' learning in the classroom. Many other books on the market are written for the Speech Language Clinician, rather than the classroom teacher, so much more time is devoted to clinical and therapeutic interventions in other texts.
Professor Laura Kieran, Curriculum Instruction Dept, Western Illinois University
