Prominent researchers from the US, Mexico, Chile, Colombia and Spain contribute experimental reports on language development of children who are acquiring Spanish. The chapters cover a wide range of dimensions in acquisition: comprehension and production; monolingualism and bilingualism; typical development, children who are at risk and children with language disorders, phonology, semantics, and morphosyntax. These studies will inform linguistic theory development in clinical linguistics as well as offer insights on how language works in relation to cognitive functions that are associated with when children understand or use language. The unique data from child language offer perspectives that cannot be drawn from adult language. The first part is dedicated to the acquisition of Spanish as a first or second language by typically-developing children, the second part offers studies on children who are at risk of language delays, and the third part focuses on children with specific language impairment, disorders and syndromes.

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.

Debido a la necesidad de conocer, entender y tratar con mayor profundidad los problemas de los niños que presentan serias dificultades para comunicarse adecuadamente, se está despertando un gran interés por el estudio de los trastornos del lenguaje en la infancia. El término que da título a este libro, Trastorno específico del lenguaje (TEL), se viene utilizando en el ámbito de la psicopatología del lenguaje y la logopedia en España —según los criterios más clásicos de exclusión— para referirse al conjunto de problemas lingüísticos que se presentan en la infancia sin que se puedan atribuir a ninguna causa obvia. Esta obra es una contribución seria, reflexiva y rigurosa a este tema. En ella se profundiza, en primer lugar, en los principales conceptos básicos sobre el TEL: la definición del trastorno y los criterios de identificación y clasificación, que se acompañan con una serie de consideraciones neuropsicológicas sobre el desarrollo del lenguaje y de sus trastornos. A continuación se realiza una exposición de las dificultades lingüísticas que han ocupado la mayor parte de la investigación en los últimos años, tales como las relativas a la gramática, al léxico y a la pragmática, y de la fusión de todas ellas en el discurso narrativo. Se estudian, además, las relaciones que guarda el TEL con otras áreas o dimensiones deficitarias en la infancia, concretamente con los trastornos fonológicos, con la dislexia y con los trastornos del espectro autista.

La mayoría de los niños alcanzan los hitos del desarrollo lingüístico con bastante facilidad siguiendo una secuencia predecible. No obstante, a muchos no les sucede lo mismo, sino que el aprendizaje del lenguaje es lento, incompleto y muy esforzado. Dentro de este grupo se encuentran los niños con trastorno específico del lenguaje (TEL). Sobre ellos, y dedicado a ellos, va este libro, cuyo objetivo es actualizar los conocimientos, aún escasos, que se tienen sobre este trastorno, que afecta a un porcentaje considerable de niños y que, en la mayoría de los casos, lo van a arrastrar durante muchos años. Por el momento, el medio más eficaz para frenar su posible persistencia consiste en ofrecer una intervención de la máxima calidad desde los primeros años de vida, para lo cual se hace necesario un avance considerable en su estudio e investigación. Nos referimos al TEL como un trastorno invisible porque en muchos casos, sobre todo si no se acompaña de otras alteraciones más llamativas, el problema no se identifica hasta que las demandas lingüísticas, académicas y sociales son lo suficientemente alarmantes como para requerir unos recursos lingüísticos no disponibles. A la vez, los recursos asignados a su estudio, investigación y diseño de técnicas eficaces de intervención son claramente insuficientes, lo que aumenta su invisibilidad. Este libro trata de poner al día los temas más relevantes en el estudio del TEL, desde su concepto, los mecanismos de aprendizaje del lenguaje en el TEL y su desarrollo en distintas etapas, así como la descripción de las habilidades lingüísticas más deficitarias en estos niños. Por último, se analizan las relaciones del TEL con otros trastornos del desarrollo (dislexia, TDAH, discalculia, etc.) y la posible comorbilidad entre ellos.

The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Morphology presents a state-of-the-art, detailed and exhaustive overview of all aspects of Spanish morphology, paying equal attention to the empirical complexities of the morphological system and the theoretical issues that they raise. As such, this handbook is relevant both for those interested in the facts of Spanish morphology and those interested in general morphology that want to explore how the Spanish facts illuminate our understanding of human language and current theories of morphology. This volume is also unique in its extent and coverage. Written by an international team of leading experts in the field, it contains 42 chapters divided into four sections, covering all synchronic and diachronic aspects of Spanish morphology, including inflection; derivation; compounding and other processes of word formation; the interaction of morphology with other modules of grammar and the role of morphology in language acquisition, psycholinguistics and language teaching.

Executive functions develop during the first years of life and determine future learning and personal development. Executive dysfunction is related to various neurodevelopmental disorders, so its study is of great interest for intervention in children with neurotypical development and in those who have suffered a neurodevelopmental disorder. The Handbook of Research on Neurocognitive Development of Executive Functions and Implications for Intervention offers updated research on executive functions and their implication in psychoeducational intervention. It establishes a multidisciplinary context to discuss both intervention experience and research results in different areas of knowledge. Covering topics such as childhood inhibitory processing, mindfulness interventions, and language development, this major reference work is an excellent resource for psychologists, medical professionals, researchers, academicians, educators, and students.

Language is crucial in child development. Therefore, general questions such as what are the possible challenges in language acquisition or such as how well the/my child is doing, are commonly present for researchers, clinicians, teachers, and parents. Parent-child interaction offers a privileged setting to observe children’s behavior in multiple communicative situations, which often is only available to the parents/caregivers. For this reason, within the broad range of methods used to assess children’s development, parental questionnaires are widely used being a non-invasive and inexpensive instrument to obtain information which is otherwise difficult to obtain. Data obtained with the many questionnaires covering various aspects of child development and communicative competence are equally relevant for basic research and everyday clinical practice. Development and use of parental questionnaires as well as data interpretation frequently require an interdisciplinary and cross-sector approach, bringing together developmental psychologists and practitioners. This interdisciplinarity is assumed but rarely addressed directly.

Recently, there has been a growing demand for diversity and inclusion in schools worldwide to ensure effective learning for every student. Efforts have been made to support teachers in promoting diversity in classrooms, but research shows that students with learning disabilities (LD), including autism spectrum disorder, neurodevelopmental disabilities, dyslexia, and executive dysfunction, still struggle to keep up despite having individualized education programs (IEPs). These students are not receiving the necessary support they need to learn effectively in the classroom, leaving them behind and often completely unprepared for their futures. When intersectional statistics are taken into account, students who have a learning disability and are among minority ethnic groups have even lower rates of earning a diploma than their counterparts. Changes in the educational system must be made to close this learning chasm and create a more equitable learning environment. Closing the Educational Achievement Gap for Students With Learning Disabilities increases awareness of the issue of inequalities in education for students with learning disabilities through improved training programs for teachers, recommendations for policy changes, and development of new strategies to close the gap between these students and their classmates. The goal of this book is to educate and empower educators, researchers, and policymakers on how they can help students with learning disabilities thrive academically and emotionally. It examines the barriers that prevent teachers from effectively providing instruction to these students. This book covers topics such as achievement gaps, student-centered approaches, and culturally responsive teaching and is ideal for educators, professionals, researchers, special education professionals, speech and occupational therapists, disability service providers, intervention strategists, psychologists, parents, and local communities.
