The landmark reference in the field, completely updated: a
comprehensive treatment of a disorder that is more prevalent than
autism. Children with specific language impairment (SLI) show a
significant deficit in spoken language that cannot be attributed to
neurological damage, hearing impairment, or intellectual
disability. More prevalent than autism and at least as prevalent as
dyslexia, SLI affects approximately seven percent of all children;
it is longstanding, with adverse effects on academic, social, and
(eventually) economic standing. The first edition of this work
established Children with Specific Language Impairment as the
landmark reference on this condition, considering not only the
disorder's history, possible origins, and treatment but also what
SLI might tell us about language organization and development in
general. This second edition offers a complete update of the
earlier volume. Much of the second edition is completely new,
reflecting findings and interpretations based on the hundreds of
studies that have appeared since the publication of the first
edition in 1997. Topics include linguistic details (descriptive and
theoretical), word and sentence processing findings, genetics,
neurobiology, treatment, and comparisons to such conditions as
autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and dyslexia. The book covers SLI
in children who speak a wide range of languages, and, although the
emphasis is on children, it also includes studies of adults who
were diagnosed with SLI as children or are the parents of children
with SLI. Written by a leading scholar in the field, Children with
Specific Language Impairment offers the most comprehensive,
balanced, and unified treatment of SLI available.
