Although most children learn language relatively quickly, as many
as 10 per cent of them are slow to start speaking and are said to
have developmental language disorder (DLD). Children with DLD are
managed by a variety of different professionals in different
countries, are offered different services for different periods of
time and are given a variety of different therapeutic treatments.
To date, there has been no attempt to evaluate these different
practices. Managing Children with Developmental Language Disorder:
Theory and Practice Across Europe and Beyond does just this,
reporting on the findings of a survey carried out as part of the
work of COST Action IS1406, a European research network. Law and
colleagues analyse the results of a pan-European survey, looking at
how different services are delivered in different counties, at the
cultural factors underpinning such services and the theoretical
frameworks used to inform practice in different countries. The book
also provides a snapshot of international practices in a set of 35
country-specific "vignettes", providing a benchmark for future
developments but also calling attention to the work of key
practitioners and thinkers in each of the countries investigated.
This book will be essential reading for practitioners working with
children with language impairments, those commissioning services
and policy in the field and students of speech and language
therapy.
The majority of children acquire language effortlessly but
approximately 10% of all children find it difficult especially in
the early or preschool years with consequences for many aspects of
their subsequent development and experience: literacy, social
skills, educational qualifications, mental health and employment.
With contributions from an international team of researchers, this
book is the first to draw together a series of new analyses of data
related to children's language development, primarily from
large-scale nationally representative population studies, and to
bring a public health perspective to the field. The book begins
with a section on factors influencing the patterns of language
development. A second section explores continuity and change in
language development over time. The third explores the impact on
individuals with developmental language disorders (DLD), the
effectiveness of available interventions, and broader issues about
the need for equity in the delivery of services to those with DLD.
