Communication Assessment and Intervention Strategies

Abstract

This book ostensibly focuses on the communication disorders of patients with developmental disabilities. Yet, Lloyd, the editor, accurately observes in his preface that ... in most cases these approaches can be generalized for use with persons whose communication problems originate from other causes. This observation should be stressed lest casual perusers with limited interests in developmental disabilities overlook this book, which is, in fact, an outstanding compendium of state-of-the-art review in several major areas related to problems in the acquisition of communication. Readers who are interested in pediatric otolaryngology will find the book to be a highly economical way of bringing themselves abreast of current thinking about some important aspects of disordered communication. Six chapters will be of particular interest to these readers: Siegel and Brown's chapter on language assessment offers a superb critical overview of current approaches to the evaluation of language acquisition.
