About this title

From the Back Cover

This book examines what speech and language therapists, working individually and in multidisciplinary teams, really do with language–impaired children. Rather than discussing this from the basis of one particular school, theoretical model or approach, the book aims to develop a holistic view of the child, her/his family, environment and progress with language.
