This book explores the interaction between speech and language in typical development and the effect that interaction has on language disorders. Incorporating both clinical and theoretical perspectives, the authors analyze such issues as the role of speech in normal language development, prespeech vocal foundations for language, early sounds and words, co-morbidity in speech and language disorders, dysfluency, and the emergence of literacy. Special attention is given to specific conditions such as tracheostomies, Down syndrome, deafness, severe speech-motor impairments, and other disabilities. The authors thoughtfully explicate the clinical implications of the speech-language connection for each disorder discussed. Speech-language professionals will find insightful suggestions for developing effective programs to integrate speech and language management for children with communication disorders.
