Although most children learn language relatively quickly, as many as 10 per cent of them are slow to start speaking and are said to have developmental language disorder (DLD). Children with DLD are managed by a variety of different professionals in different countries, are offered different services for different periods of time and are given a variety of different therapeutic treatments. To date, there has been no attempt to evaluate these different practices. Managing Children with Developmental Language Disorder: Theory and Practice Across Europe and Beyond does just this, reporting on the findings of a survey carried out as part of the work of COST Action IS1406, a European research network.
Law and colleagues analyse the results of a pan-European survey, looking at how different services are delivered in different counties, at the cultural factors underpinning such services and the theoretical frameworks used to inform practice in different countries. The book also provides a snapshot of international practices in a set of 35 country-specific vignettes, providing a benchmark for future developments but also calling attention to the work of key practitioners and thinkers in each of the countries investigated.
This book will be essential reading for practitioners working with children with language impairments, those commissioning services and policy in the field and students of speech and language therapy.
About the Author
James Law studied linguistics, practising as a speech and language therapist in the UK for ten years, and is currently Professor of Speech and Language Science, Newcastle University, UK. Having received over £5 million in research grant funding, his main focus has been on children's language development over time and the science underpinning interventions to ameliorate developmental language disorders.
Cristina McKean is a speech and language therapist and senior lecturer in speech pathology at Newcastle University, UK. She is honorary fellow at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute and adjunct fellow at the Menzies Institute, Griffith University, Australia, and editor-in-chief for the International Journal of Language and Communication Disorders. Her research aims to understand individual differences in child language development, the drivers and processes of developmental change and the effects of interventions and service delivery models on children's trajectories.
Carol-Anne Murphy lectures in speech and language therapy at the University of Limerick (UL), Ireland. She leads the child speech, language and communication needs research group at UL, whose work includes the development of school-based speech and language therapy services. Carol-Anne has a particular interest in understanding mechanisms of intervention, effective approaches to assessment, and intervention implementation in developmental communication difficulties, particularly developmental language disorder.
Elin Thordardottir, a certified speech-language pathologist and audiologist, conducts research and teaches in Canada as a professor at McGill University, and in Iceland, at the Academy of Reykjavik and the University of Iceland. This allows her to study typical language development and impairment in monolingual, bilingual and multilingual children in distinct linguistic environments and with a strong cross-linguistic focus. She has authored a number of clinical language measures in Icelandic and French.

Like it was written by George Santos
Received an Advanced Reader Copy from a friend. I am an avid true crime reader and upon completion I question if the author is credible. The timeline does not add up for his age and the times of his alleged involvement in organized crime. Some of the things in the book he is alleged to have said and done I remember almost word for word from movies I had previously watched. He literally stole a scene from the movie the accountant with Ben Affleck and said that he did it. I did a little research after completing the book and learned that this author was also claiming in 2010 that he was a long time member of the Bloods Gang. That coupled with the above leads me to believe that it is nothing more than fantasy. Do not waste your time or money

What a difficult story to tell. I appreciate the honesty and vulnerability. Definitely made me think.
I had hopes for this book but was not expecting what I would read within the pages. If your kink is deplorable grammar, incoherent sentences, and inconsistent messages, then this book is for you. At first, I thought the book I received was not the book I ordered. But as I dived in, it was very confusing. I would not recommend this book to anyone
There are not many reviews on the internet for this book. In researching the many stores selling the book, it was self-published which makes a lot of sense. The online description is written perfectly, so reading the actual book was very difficult. Pages two and three are written clearly as well as the table of contents. Pages 155 and 156 are also written logically.
It appears this book was written, then sent through a program like “Grammarly.” Once completed it seems it was published without being re-read or edited. The first clue was the title narrative that used “Has” instead of “As.” The table of contents is one page off from what it shows on pages four though seven. Many of the “q’s” are written as “[]”
Below are some examples of what was within the pages of this book written verbatim:
“Chains & Discipline/ Domination & entry/ Sadism & Masochism (BDSM) is a wide classification of bed room play.” Page 9
“When bringing up the topic of chains, you are actually asking a person to offer you their depend on, their flexibility, and also possibly their suggestion of security in exchange for sensual/sexual enjoyment, power-play, and also feasible re-evaluation of your very own connection.” Page 39
“Techni[]ue can take a selection of kinds and also be as easy or facility as you pick to (new paragraph) bargain for your details scenario” Page 52
“BDSM stands for chains as well as entry, technique and also supremacy as well as sadism and also masochism.” Page 125
“SHELF means Risk Aware Consensual Kink.” Page 130
“Approval is whatever.” Page 152
“your twist isn’t my twist, yet your twist is OKAY.” Page 153
“You can be a top, base, or button” Page 153
Good service, good book. Just what I was looking for! Thank you!
