Assessment and intervention for children with language problems. Adopting a functional approach, the 6th edition of the handbook Language Disorders focuses on the language issues of children with a holistic perspective.

Unlike other reference books on language disorders, it moves from assessment through intervention, emphasizing universal techniques that work for all delays and disorders.

With over 1,200 new references, it provides a strong theoretical background and emphasizes practices based on robust scientific evidence.

The assessment and intervention highlight the child's natural environment and their conversational partners. Interventions are included for both the family and school settings.
