Supporting Young Young Children With Communication Problems

Now in its fourth edition, formerly published as How to Manage Communication Problems in Young Children, this invaluable guide to understanding and helping children whose speech and/or language is delayed or impaired has been completely revised and updated, and provides readers with:

• Practical advice on how to recognise communication problems
• Strategies for supporting children with speech, language and communication needs
• Best practice guide for parents and professionals working in partnership
• Contributions from a wide-range of specialist speech and language therapists

Reflecting new developments and current practice, this book is of interest to parents, early years’ practitioners, students in education and speech and language therapy, and anyone interested in pursuing a career with young children in the foundation years. Written in an accessible style, it assumes no prior knowledge and includes a range of practical suggestions for dealing with children with all kinds of communication difficulties.
