A number of books and studies have shed light on the value of professionals working together to address the language and literacy needs of English learners (ELs) with communication disorders. However, few resources have directly and intentionally addressed the merging of the two disciplines speech-language pathology and English as a second language-in effecting change in language and literacy. Thus, there is a gap in the literature. This book influences how the disciplines of speech-language pathology and English as a second language view and incorporate the roles of professionals in working with ELs, and specifically ELs with communication disorders.
