About this title

Synopsis

New edition of a text for students aiming for professions in which they will be helping children who have language problems. Takes the position that neither the traditional etiological approach nor the noncategorical approach is, by itself, sufficient. Draws on both to present the complexities. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
