Abstract
Contents

What are the most effective strategies for managing language and communication disorders in the classroom? In the style of a Teacher Training notebook, Language and Communication Disorders offers early years teachers ready-to-use instructions for successfully addressing 14 common situations and behaviours associated with language and communication disorders.

What to do and what to avoid

Each chapter includes a brief overview of a specific problematic behavior, indications on the intervention (how to intervene), suggestions and insights (advice of the expert and in-depth analysis). The teacher will be guided towards understanding the situations described through emotional, cognitive and behavioural reading.
