School-Age Language Intervention: Evidence-Based Practices–Second Edition

Description

School-Age Language Intervention: Evidence-Based Practices–Second Edition addresses the fundamentals of being an SLP in the schools: service delivery, assessment, the foundation and framework for intervention, and federal rules and regulations. It explains the major populations that a school SLP encounters: developmental language disorder, reading disability, autism, and dual language learners. Evidence-based guidance for intervention is provided for vocabulary, grammar, narrative, expository, and classroom discourse. The final section of this book specifically addresses the written code and cognitive underpinnings needed for reading, writing, and academic success.

Dr. Ukrainetz brings together an impressive corps of contributors to develop an invaluable resource language and literacy intervention for school SLPs and other special educators. This book grounds practical assessment and treatment strategies across oral and written domains of language and related abilities in sound theory and research. It addresses the wide and complex world of the school SLP, including service delivery, rules and regulations, and major student populations. This is a must-have resource for working professionals and graduate students.
