- Summary:
- Communication Disorders in Infants and Toddlers is a concise guide to assessment and intervention for infants and toddlers in the birth-to-36-month age group with special needs. In the face of demands placed on the health care system by fluctuating public policy and managed care, this invaluable resource is designed to help professionals optimize treatment and achieve the best possible outcomes for very young patients. It emphasizes a multidisciplinary team approach to management, discussing the processes of teaming, referral, collaboration, and communicating efficiently and effectively with families and peers in related fields. Information on assessment methods, implications of specific diagnosis, and encouraging development through parent-professional teaming are presented with recent research findings, making this text both a valuable, evidence-based reference and clinical tool.
