This book speaks clearly and understandably to classroom teachers and requires no prior knowledge of the subject. It provides practical information for meeting the special educational and emotional needs of children with speech, language, or hearing problems, while promoting the speech and language development of all children in the classroom.
Soundly based on current research in the field and developed from the responses of over 250 teachers and teachers-in-training, the material in this volume is organized in an easy-to-follow, self-teaching format.
Problems of articulation and phonology, language disabilities, stuttering, voice disorders, and hearing impairment are presented, along with other populations that include the cerebral palsied child and syndromes such as fetal alcohol, Down, Alport, and Fragile X that have implications for speech, hearing, and language.
