For courses in Language Disorders (Birth to Age 5) and Early Childhood Intervention.

A comprehensive text on assessment and intervention of both verbal and nonverbal communication of infants, toddlers, and preschoolers.

From one of the best-selling authors in the fields of Language Development and Communication Disorders, Robert Owens Jr., comes a new, informative, authoritative text that offers practical guidelines for functional methods that highlight language use within the daily routines of the home and classroom. Designed as an undergraduate-level text for communication disorders students, it covers assessment and intervention of both verbal and nonverbal communication, including augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), with young children who need support in learning to communicate. Also included are valuable resources, tables, and materials particularly useful for clinicians in practice.
