It is a revision and expansion of portions of Lois Bloom and Margaret Lahey's classic text, Language Development and Language Disorders. The text presents a concise summary of current information on language development from infancy through the development of narrative skills in children. Comprehensive chapters are devoted to information on processing skills, including central auditory processing, and subcategories of language- disordered children. The usefulness of the information in these chapters is given in terms of educational management and shows how it is relative to furthering understanding of language disorders.

Since I am a beginner in the field of Speech-Language Pathology, this book has helped break down the important information in a way in which I am able to comprehend all the material. I find it to be an easy-reader with plenty of tables to explain things better. Don't forget to read the appendices because that section is also very helpful as well, especially if learning how to transcribe and interpret a language sample.
