"'Children With Communication Disorders' provides a simple, lucid and scientific account of the types of communication disorders that may be seen in children. Apart from serving as an introductory text for students of speech-language pathology, it is also addressed to an audience of parents, teachers and other concerned professionals such as paediatricians, ENT Specialists, developmental neurologists, psychologists and special educators. The book is an introduction to the wide range of communication disorders that are seen in children so as to be able to recognise them, implement preventive and remedial steps where feasible, and seek appropriate professional help when needed. It will also serve as an aid to families and professionals to identity and support children with communication disorders across a range of settings including homes, schools and clinics."
