Overview
In Language and Literacy Development, the authors discuss evidence-based practical strategies in the identification, assessment and intervention of ELs with communication disorders. Written from the perspective of two disciplines, Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) and English as a Second Language (ESOL), the authors merge their expertise to discuss the knowledge, skills and competences each professional must demonstrate in order to facilitate language and literacy development in ELs with communication disorders.
Few resources have directly and intentionally addressed the merging of the two disciplines - speech-language pathology and English as a second language - in effecting change in language and literacy. This book fills this need.
The primary audience for this book is for school-based speech-language pathologists. The book is also intended for all professionals who are responsible for teaching language and literacy skills, such as, the ESOL professional, general and special educators, bilingual teachers, reading coaches and school administrators. The text can also be used as a textbook in academic programs.
