Speech and language impairment can have a huge impact on cognitive development, yet identifying what is going wrong, and what effective intervention looks like, can be daunting. This thorough guide will give you everything you need to change that, short of retraining you as a speech and language therapist! An essential resource, the book contains a wide variety of online resources, including phonological and sound awareness documents, assessment tools, and recording forms, that can be downloaded straight to your device, providing excellent activities and resources for your classroom. Written by speech and language therapists and designed exclusively for Early Years practitioners, it provides a complete overview of how children acquire language and what language impairments look like at this age, offering strategic advice on how to effectively manage and encourage the development of speech and language skills. It will also help you recognise the features of specific language difficulties such as Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and the communication difficulties associated with other conditions such as autism.
