Opis

Language Therapy offers a comprehensive approach to dealing with the problem of language delay using therapy based on the LARSP and the Laura Lee frameworks. In guiding the reader through the relevant theory to its application in the field, the book lays the foundation for a systematic, orderly, developmental and principled approach to remediation, governed all the time by control and knowledge. Filled with usable material, the book contains explicit suggestions for therapy in all areas of language structure and use that need attention when dealing with the wide range of difficulties that language-delayed children experience. Of value to both new and experienced language therapists, the book will also be useful to other professionals involved with the language of the preschool child.
