I will also be sharing the findings with colleagues in education, psychology and health. -- Caroline Booth, specialist speech and language therapist working with the Assessment and Intervention Team (Early Years and School Age) for Wandsworth PCT in Speech&Language Therapy in Practice This is a book that should be obligatory reading for everyone working in the field of developmental language disorders. There are contributions by many of the top experts in the field of DLD- from those involved in diagnostic and intervention research to those working in the field of genetics and imaging. Together the individual contributors and the 3 editors have produced a clearly written, tightly structured and comprehensive volume that should become a true classic. - Patricia Howlin, Professor of Clinical Child Psychology, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London This is a terrific text for anyone who is interested in developmental language disorder and reading disability. With contributions by renowned experts in the field, the text provides an interesting blend of basic research spanning behavioral, neuroimaging, and genetic investigations, along with a strong focus on evidence-based intervention. - Susan Ellis-Weismer, University of Wisconsin-Madison This volume provides researchers and clinicians concerned with language and literacy disorders in children with a unique resource. This rare assembly of rigorous scientific studies applied to both the underlying processes and the approaches to remediation of these problems renders the volume an invaluable addition to the libraries of investigators and clinicians alike. - Rhea Paul, Yale Child Study Center 'This volume is almost certainly the best overview of the literature in the last twenty years and needs to be on the curriculum of neurologists, psychologists, speech and language therapists, linguistics, geneticists and all the other groups who truly want to understand DLD as it affects children across childhood and into adulthood.' - Professor James Law, Director, Centre for Integrated Healthcare Research, Queen Margaret University 'This is a book that should be obligatory reading for everyone working in the field of developmental language disorders.
