A strong focus on the analysis and synthesis of language disorders teaches students to think like a Speech-Language Pathologist.
Ideal for undergraduate students, Language Disorders in Children strives to be much more than an introductory book. This innovative first edition text teaches students how to analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and link the information they are learning. Going beyond basic concepts and basic definitions, this book consistently offers readers opportunities for higher-order learning, preparing each student to become a careful evaluator of information with respect to language disorders as well as an adept problem-solver.
Language Disorders in Children is organized by disorder groups and theme, allowing students to easily make connections between theoretical information and clinical practice. Each chapter also includes a number of thoughtful features, such as case histories, clinical decision trees, and hot topic discussions, all of which facilitate learning both in and outside of the classroom. Topics of special interest include emergent literacy issues in school-aged children, the response-to-intervention approach, and the sequence of language in young children.
This text understands the need of today’s student to learn lifetime critical thinking skills, to see relationships between isolated ideas and facts, and think like a Speech-Language Pathologist.

I am a student who used this textbook for an undergraduate course in language disorders. While I don't have the credentials or experience to evaluate the accuracy or usefulness of the information presented, I found the text to be boring and unsatisfying from a student's perspective. I wanted to know more about children with language disorders, what language disorders are and how to treat them, but I feel that the textbook delivered relatively little of that. Instead, there were lengthy conceptual descriptions of language theory, types of assessment, decision-making strategies for the clinician, and the virtues of the RTI method of classroom-based instruction as contrasted with the pull-out service delivery method. I feel that most of these topics are more suited to a textbook on educational theory than a textbook on language disorders.
The parts of the textbook I found relatively helpful were the "Principles of Intervention" chapter that outlined language facilitation techniques such as expansions and buildup/breakdown, and the chapter on "Children with Intellectual Disability", which described several different syndromes and offered some treatment suggestions such as the Functional Communication Approach and the IT's FUN PROGRAM. I may refer to these chapters in the future. However, I would have liked more thorough coverage of these topics, and this text only introduced each approach briefly.
This text also has chapters on Autism Spectrum Disorders, Children with Hearing Loss, Literacy, and AAC, but since I feel that these topics really each deserve a textbook or more of their own and I will study them more in depth in other classes, these introductory chapters were not very valuable to me.
