Supporting Children with Communication Difficulties in Inclusive Settings

Book excerpt: This book is written especially for language interventionists and special education teachers who work on collaborative teams in public settings. This book teaches an innovative service delivery model where parents and professionals share expertise and responsibility to maximize and support language and communicative competence in classrooms with wide ability, cultural, racial/ethnic, linguistic, and economic diversity. It provides step-by-step directions and hands-on activities to give students practice in applying the procedures. The writing is clear and does not assume that the reader has had previous courses or knowledge in speech-language intervention. The content offers a solid foundation in basic procedures for classroom-based intervention for all children with language and communication difficulties. For professionals working in the fields of audiology, speech-language pathology, and deaf education.
