This book examines the typical pattern of communication development
in children and adolescents to enable primary care physicians as
well as other clinicians, therapists, and practitioners to assist
parents in making informed decisions based on current research. It
offers an overview of communication disorders in children and
adolescents that typically present before adulthood. The book
describes current assessment, diagnostic procedures, and
evidence-based interventions. Chapters outline the standard course
of speech milestones and ages to begin screening for deficits and
their risk factors. Subsequent chapters review best practices for
every aspect of treatment, including care planning, discussing
disorders and interventions with parents, making referrals, and
collaborating with other providers. The book also discusses
evidence-based interventions for specific disorder types such as
language impairment, stuttering, language disabilities, and hearing
impairment. In addition, the book offers guidance on how to speak
about care planning as well as quality of life issues related to
communication disorders with other caregivers and parents. Featured
topics include: Screening and identification procedures of
communication disorders. Key elements to providing family-centered
care. Common causes, assessment, and treatment of specific language
impairment (SLI) in children. Hearing loss and its impact on the
development of communication in children. Attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the role of attention in
the development of language in children. Communication development
in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The Clinical Guide
to Assessment and Treatment of Communication Disorders is a
must-have resource for clinicians and related professionals,
researchers and professors, and graduate students in the fields of
child, school, and developmental psychology, pediatrics and social
work, child and adolescent psychiatry, primary care medicine, and
related disciplines.

Autobiographical memory (ABM)-the type of long-term memory that
holds information about ourselves and our past experiences-is key
to social learning and social communication. This groundbreaking
guide shows professionals how to support ABM in children and
adolescents on the autism spectrum, leading to lasting enhancements
to critical social skills. A natural, strengths-based approach to
autism intervention, this unique program is about promoting
authentic connections by facilitating memory-not encouraging a
specific set of behaviors or changing autistic habits of cognition.
Ideal for speech-language pathologists and other practitioners,
this book offers detailed guidance on how to assess ABM needs and
implement activities that help autistic individuals encode and
retrieve memories that aid in social learning. Professionals will
get step-by-step instructions on using adaptable, person-centered
techniques such as elaborative reminiscing, memory making
activities, episodic memory draw-talks, and life stories. An
innovative and practical guide that honors neurodiversity, this
program empowers children to tap into and create meaning from their
past experiences-and use those memories to plan, problem-solve, and
form positive connections with others. Why This Program? Helps
neurotypical and autistic children and adolescents develop memory
retrieval and discourse strategies critical for academic and social
success Evidence aligned-translates pioneering research into
ready-to-use intervention strategies and activities Client
centered-honors the child's interests and follows their lead
without prescribing scripts or rules Adaptable for a wide range of
intervention settings-home, school, and community Developed by
highly respected experts on autism and communication Customizable
to meet the needs of the individual PRACTICAL MATERIALS:
Professionals will get downloadable assessment and intervention
forms, clear scope and sequences they can easily replicate, and
handouts and worksheets to share with families so they can use the
techniques at home.
