About this book
This volume is dedicated to the field of Specific Language Impairment (SLI), addressing important research questions, including: the interrelation of genetic and cognitive profiles of individuals with SLI; the comorbidity issue and clinical boundaries between SLI and other developmental disorders; cross-linguistic manifestations of SLI; and theory-motivated therapy approaches to individuals with SLI. This volume brings together researchers with different scientific backgrounds and research disciplines, challenging current points of view and offering new perspectives on issues of SLI and developmental disorders.
Reviews
Gina Conti-Ramsden, The University of Manchester:
This volume addresses key issues regarding specific language impairment (SLI) from a multi-disciplinary as well as multi-linguistic perspective. A must read for those interested in understanding the interactions between, genetics, cognitive and linguistic factors in the characterisation of SLI, its association with other developmental disorders such as dyslexia and ADHD and how this information can move the field towards theory-driven intervention.
