About this title

Review

"(A)n excellent comprehensive introduction to child language development since it presents an integrated model of the development of human communication. The ten chapters of the book are excellent and easy to follow. The margin notes, chapter summaries, review questions, and suggested readings are helpful to non-traditional and traditional students. The glossar, appendix, and index are invaluable to all learners." (Sister Arlene Brisbane, M.A., CCC-SLP, Silver Lake College, Manitowoe, Wisconsin)
