Description
This comprehensive guide explores the development of children's communication skills from birth to five years. Understanding the fundamental role of language in human development is crucial for social and emotional well-being.
The book provides a clear framework for professionals working with children, covering key stages of communication development, normal progress, and potential developmental problems. It also addresses the importance of play in developing these skills and offers practical guidance on supporting children with communication difficulties.
Featuring real-life examples, illustrations, and useful features such as chapter summaries, age-specific tables, and a glossary of key terms, this informative text is based on extensive research in child language and communication development. It will be an invaluable resource for health visitors, GPs, community nurses, educational psychologists, early-years educators, and speech and language therapists.
