Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is very worthwhile for therapists who work in the school system or deal with children with language problems at the elementary level. Those therapists who seek a closer relationship with reading specialists in the school may want to share the book with them."

This review is from: Developmental Reading Disabilities:: Language-Based Treatment Approach (Clinical Competence) (Spiral-bound)

This book was very confusing and very indepth. My professor even confessed that she had to read chapters multiple times to understand this book. This is definately above my reading level and difficult to understand. This is a tough read. I wish I never had to buy this book.

This review is from: Developmental Reading Disabilities:: Language-Based Treatment Approach (Clinical Competence) (Spiral-bound)

This book is very in depth. If you don't come from a medical background it may be hard to understand. The author did a fantastic job referencing Wolf, Stahl and Rosen. All of which are reputable scientists but I was hoping for a new outlook into this topic. It was as if she didn't write this book from her own stand point she just put all of the previous studies that were done by other doctors on this topic in the book. I would like to know what she thinks. If I wanted to know what Doctor Wolf thought I would buy his book. From what I read this book does not provide any new insight into language based reading disabilities.
