Description
Leslie Rescorla's comprehensive survey of 30 years of research on young children with delayed expressive language is an essential addition to the literature on language development.
This volume brings together more than 25 top researchers to explore the causes and characteristics of late language emergence, long-term outcomes for late talkers, effective intervention approaches, and future directions for new research studies. Discover how the latest findings inform our understanding of late talkers and their potential outcomes later in life.
Key topics include accurate identification of late talkers among bilingual children, evidence-based language intervention approaches, and the relationship between phonology and lexical development in late talkers. The book also covers prevalence, predictors, and causes of late language emergence, as well as parent-implemented language intervention programs tailored to a child's individual characteristics.
