Description
This text is more than an introductory look at language disorders. It goes beyond basic concepts and basic definitions to teach students how to analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and link the information they are learning. It offers readers opportunities for higher-order learning, while preparing students to become careful evaluators of information, as well as adept problem solvers. Organized by disorder groups and theme, "Language Disorders in Children," "2/e" students easily make connections between theoretical information and clinical practice through a number of thoughtful features such as case histories, clinical decision trees, and hot topic discussions. It s an approach that meets the needs of today s students to learn lifetime critical thinking skills, to see relationships between isolated ideas and facts, and to think like a speech-language pathologist. The new Second Edition features: Extensive pedagogical aids A model based on five form/content/use communication subdomains A redesigned first chapter overviewing the field of language disorders and introducing the concept of evidence-based practice Chapter case studies A chapter (4) devoted to clinical decision making A step-by-step approach to fostering students abilities to understand and use decision trees to guide their clinical problem solving A revised and integrated discussion of multi-cultural issues Updated information and research throughout A revised approach to teaching language theories Two new appendices with step-by-step tutorials to T-unit analysis and language analysis of children who demonstrate African American English "
