| Summary |
"Professionals have reached few empirically reliable conclusions in their study of specific language impairments (SLI) in children. This book provides groundbreaking research that will elucidate the nature, defining characteristics, and far-reaching effects of this perplexing disorder. To advance intervention efforts and ensure a solid foundation for continued study, leading researchers and clinicians offer possible answers to important questions, including: Can an individual be predisposed to particular linguistic difficulties? Why are some aspects of language particularly vulnerable? Do processing limitations relate to cognitive and linguistic deficits in children with SLI? How can intervention improve children's conversational abilities and social relationships?" "Peer-reviewed to ensure quality and reliability, Specific Language Impairments in Children contains valuable findings and promising research directions that will enhance the work of researchers and students in the fields of child development and child language disorders and teachers and clinicians who work with children with specific language impairments."--Jacket |
