Emphasizing  the connection between language and literacy, the fourth edition of Teaching Students with Language and Communication Disabilities explores language development and  language disorders within the context of specific disabilities.

Organized in a three-part format, the text examines language development and disorders in school-age children,  analyzes language difficulties associated with specific disabilities, and presents assessment techniques and instructional strategies used in today's classrooms. This edition includes new student vignettes, new teacher perspectives, updated activities, and new literacy sections so educators learn how to apply concepts to real classroom situations.
