This chapter is a must-read for every school speech-language pathologist.Real-life scenarios based on experiences shared by public school speech-language pathologists give the reader concrete examples upon which to scaffold the complex professional concepts. Chapter summaries provide an overview of the major points presented. Questions at the end of each chapter are designed to engage the reader in analysis and comprehension of material, and vocabulary related to each chapter is conveniently defined at the start of each chapter so that the reader can better grasp the subject matter within.Features new to this "third edition" include: the addition of 4 online resources; the addition of 10 new evidence-based practices; the addition of over 130 new references; an updated appendix of free apps; a PluralPlus companion website that includes the Oral Language Curriculum Standards Inventory - grade-by-grade expressive language checklists that align to grade-by-grade oral language curriculum standards.
