Milestones: Normal Speech and Language Development Across the
Lifespan is a textbook for the introductory course in Language
Development for students in Speech-Language Pathology,
Communication Disorders, Special Education, Educational Psychology
and Education. It adopts a coherent chronological approach,
beginning with responsiveness to speech and language in the womb
and working across the lifespan into maturity and beyond. By using
a chronological organization, the text helps students relate the
material to the whole person at each milestone. It takes a
constructive approach, starting with the simplest theoretical
apparatus of the youngest infant, gradually increasing in
complexity and comprehensiveness one milestone at a time. The
organizational background becomes a series of narratives of
interesting cases, keeping the theory and structure of language
development grounded in real stories. In the second edition, the
authors have enhanced and updated the cutting-edge information on
early language development, literacy acquisition, and some of the
factors that can delay or even derail the normal progression.They
have amplified innovations that students found useful in the first
edition while updating the text with respect to current research
and theory. The organization of the text has been streamlined, and
some of the theory and research has been clarified and illustrated
with additional or updated videographic illustrations.The digital
resources on the second edition DVD-ROM include: A complete Digital
Summary of the whole book together with hyperlinked media and
Internet resources referred to in the book A well-illustrated
PowerPoint summary of each chapter with one or more videographic
clips for every class meeting A Study Guide of Multiple Choice
Questions containing 1,000 items (400 more than in the prior
edition) linked in sequence, page-by-page and chapter-by-chapter,
to the subject matter in the text A series of 10 Discussion
Questions at the end of each chapter A digitally searchable
Glossary of Technical Terms also containing brief biographies of
major theoreticians, researchers, and innovators A searchable list
of all the published and Internet references in the book An
extensive index The foundational chronology of basic milestones of
development is essential information for speech-language
pathologists and for educators working with preschoolers, as well
as obstetricians, pediatricians, nurses, and professionals in the
health sciences. The second edition of Milestones continues to lead
the way in bringing this crucial information to successive new
generations of students and future clinicians.
