Language development and communication disorder information within one textbook!

Transcribed conversations at all developmental stages allows professional candidates the opportunity to identify the information as it would be in real children’s spoken language.

Transcriptions also provide opportunity for candidates to perform brief assessments including MLU (Mean Length of Utterance), Total number of Words, and more.

The case studies, representing all developmental stages and some communication disorders, provide real-life children to which knowledge can be applied in a problem-solving atmosphere that encourages critical thinking.
