Opis

Much has been written in recent years about psycholinguistic processing and its application to the assessment of children and adults with language disorders, but there has been little published discussion of its application to treatment. This book offers a contribution to this area. Each chapter is written by a speech and language therapist specialising in psycholinguistic approaches to investigation and intervention. Authors were invited to present a single case in one of four given areas - speech processing, lexical processing, sentence processing and pragmatics.
