Communication Development and Disorders for Partners in Service offers an introduction to topics related to typical and atypical language development considered most important to those with the potential to participate in the clinical service provision continuum, such as instructors and students  in Teacher Education programs (special education, early childhood, and elementary education). The book is also a valuable resource for speech-language pathology assistants (SLPAs), and teachers looking for more information about language development.   
Topics include:

  • definition and description of language
  • theories of language development
  • precursors for language development
  • language skills, which includes prelinguistic, earlier and later linguistic, and metalinguistic
  • collaborative professional relationships
  • language delays, disorders, and differences
  • aspects of the process of evaluation
  • aspects of the process of intervention


Communication Development and Disorders for Partners in Service equips participants in the service provision continuum to understand the components of language; interpret the implications of theories of language for interaction, evaluation, and intervention; describe the accomplishments in typical language development; compare and contrast typical with atypical language development; and describe the continuum of evaluation and intervention with appreciation of their contributions to this process.
