Language Disabilities in Cultural and Linguistic Diversity takes a
critical perspective on traditional bio-cognitive-social approaches
to language disabilities - specific language impairment,
communication difficulties, dyslexia and deafness. A socio-cultural
approach orientates a reinterpretation of research, educational
practices and policies in assessment, teaching and intervention. A
Vygotskian framework affords repositioning of assessment, learning
and development for language disabilities as they are influenced
and shaped by experiences of multilingualism, culture, ethnicity
and race. The author, rather than present definitive answers, aims
to offer new analyses and extend current understanding of
linguistic phenomena fraught by dilemmas of disentangling diversity
and disability. The volume serves as a source of reflection and
inquiry for students, professionals and policy makers in education
and health who are interested in disability and language
disabilities in multilingual and multicultural contexts.
