Written by speech and language therapists and designed exclusively for Early Years practitioners, this book provides a complete overview of how children acquire language and what language impairments look like at this age.
You will find both strategic and practical advice on how to manage and encourage the development of speech and language skills.
Creating the optimum communication environment for every child in your setting is an important part of what the book offers.
Equally, practitioners are supported to be able to recognise the features of specific language difficulties such as Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and feel confident to intervene when children are struggling.
