Semantic and Pragmatic Language Disorders: Assessment and Remediation
In Dr. Ellyn Arwood’s first book, the author explores common causes for language differences in many different children populations. Dr. Arwood utilizes a functional analysis of language in order to understand how children learn, how they acquire language, how they think, and why they act the way they do. In this title the semantic, pragmatic, and semiotic functions of language are explored in great length, and multiple connections are made between the language a child acquires and their corresponding developmental outcomes. Lastly, multiple brain-based language interventions are suggested that foreshadow present-day advancements in scientific understanding.
