The last 25 years have witnessed an explosion of research at the
intersection of typical language development and child language
disorders. A pioneer in bringing these fields of study together is
Robin S. Chapman, Emerita, University of Wisconsin. This
contributed volume honors her with chapters written by former
students and colleagues, who track in their own research the theme
of psycholinguistic contributions to our understanding of the
nature and remediation of child language disorders. In this volume,
such renowned researchers in child language development as Dorothy
Bishop, Judith Johnston, and Ray Kent, among others, discuss their
research in certain populations in the context of the significance
of, limits of, and alternatives to Robin Chapman's developmental
interactionist perspective. Studies of disordered language in
Down's Syndrome and Specific Language Impairment, in particular,
attribute much progress in our understanding of the pragmatic and
comprehension skills in these populations to the developmental
perspective. Language Disorders From a Developmental Perspective
opens with a reprint of Robin Chapman's seminal 2001 article from
The Journal of Child Psychiatry and Psychology. It concludes with a
new chapter from Dr. Chapman summarizing what we know and what we
don't know about language disorders within the developmental
framework, and pointing to future areas of research and
intervention. Clinicians as well as scholars will benefit from this
book, as will students in programs of developmental
psycholinguistics, child language disorders, and learning
disabilities.

When you're working with preverbal children on the autism spectrum,
you need a complete toolbox of highly effective strategies to
expand their communication skills. Add Rapid Motor Imitation
Antecedent Training (RMIA) , and you'll have one of the most
promising interventions for helping young children say their first
words. A discrete trial intervention approach for preschoolers with
autism who have severe language delays, RMIA is a crucial step on
the path to improved communication function. It's an easy-to-use
method: children imitate a rapid series of simple motor actions and
are then asked to imitate a word. The momentum they build by
performing the easy motor actions helps them comply with the more
difficult task of word production. A must for SLPs and autism
specialists, RMIA is an ideal addition to your current lineup of
strategies and supports: Experimentally tested at the Yale Child
Study Centre, one of the nation's top autism treatment centres.
Originally developed since 2002 at Teachers College, Columbia
University and proven effective for helping young children develop
functional speech. Perfect to use in tandem with naturalistic
interventions like Parent Responsiveness Training. Focused
specifically on initial imitation of words-a critical step toward
using language spontaneously. Quick and easy to implement-RMIA
should be administered in short, frequent doses, making it an easy
fit with your everyday practices. The only product available that
shows SLPs and autism specialists how to conduct RMIA, this
manual-and-CD set gives you everything you need for successful
implementation. You'll get complete, practical guidance in the
accessible how-to manual, and the CD-ROM gives you a full hour of
explicit demonstration videos that show case studies of RMIA in
action. You'll also get printable data collection forms to help
organise RMIA sessions and assist in data keeping (both blank forms
and completed samples). A key component of your comprehensive
intervention program for social communication, RMIA will help young
preverbal children overcome the hurdles to saying their first
words-and start making real progress toward communicative
competence.
