The Neuropsychology Of Written Language Disorders: A Framework For Effective Interventions

This book explores the neuropsychological underpinnings of the writing process, and offers practical approaches for educators and psychologists in both diagnosing and remediating written language disorders in children. Written in a comfortable and easily understood fashion, specific neural pathways involved with phonological and orthographical functioning (the elementary components of language), word retrieval skills, executive functioning skills, and motor skills output are highlighted as the neural foundation of the writing process. Scores of evidenced based interventions are offered, as well as innovative assessment strategies for both monolingual and bi-lingual students.
