Opis

Examines what speech and language therapists, working individually and in multidisciplinary teams, really do with language-impaired children. Rather than discussing this from the basis of one particular school, theoretical model or approach, the book aims to develop a holistic view of the child, his/her family, environment and progress with language. The authors urge an approach in which parent/carers and professionals work in partnership. The text is illustrated throughout by examples drawn from actual clinical practice.
