Her clinical evaluation procedures detail precisely how children should be examined for cognitive subskills. The renowned Dr. William Cruickshank renamed the book for the present publisher to: YOU CAN PREVENT OR CORRECT LEARNING DISORDERS. His endorsement reads, "It is unusual that a doctor of medicine has become an authority on the theoretical & clinical aspects of reading. Dr. Mosse illustrates that authority extensively & intensively. Her original two volumes (now together in paperback) is a compendium of significant information. It indeed could & should serve as a text for educational courses for learning disability teachers as well as provide valuable insights for classroom teachers, parents, aides & others concerned with learning disorders. Here is a book by an author who knows her subject matter, who obviously knows disabled children & who understands appropriate intervention & prevention procedures. This book should be in every university, every library & in the office of every professor of education, every superintendent, principal & disability specialist."

Download or read book Handbook of Child Language Disorders written by Richard G. Schwartz and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2010-10-18 with total page 1140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Child Language Disorders provides an in-depth, comprehensive, and state-of-the-art review of current research concerning the nature, assessment, and remediation of language disorders in children. The book includes chapters focusing on specific groups of childhood disorders (SLI, autism, genetic syndromes, dyslexia, hearing impairment); the linguistic, perceptual, genetic, neurobiological, and cognitive bases of these disorders; and the context of language disorders (bilingual, across dialects, and across languages). To examine the nature of deficits, their assessment and remediation across populations, chapters address the main components of language (morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics) and related areas (processing, memory, attention, executive function such as reading and writing). Finally, even though there is extensive information regarding research and clinical methods in each chapter, there are individual chapters that focus directly on research methods. This Handbook is a comprehensive reference source for clinicians and researchers and can be used as a textbook for undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students in speech-language pathology, developmental psychology, special education, disabilities studies, neuropsychology and in other fields interested in children's language disorders.
Download or read book Handbook of Reading Disability Research written by Anne McGill-Franzen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-17 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a wide range of research on reading disabilities, this comprehensive Handbook extends current discussion and thinking beyond a narrowly defined psychometric perspective. Emphasizing that learning to read proficiently is a long-term developmental process involving many interventions of various kinds, all keyed to individual developmental needs, it addresses traditional questions (What is the nature or causes of reading disabilities? How are reading disabilities assessed? How should reading disabilities be remediated? To what extent is remediation possible?) but from multiple or alternative perspectives. Taking incursions into the broader research literature represented by linguistic and anthropological paradigms, as well as psychological and educational research, the volume is on the front line in exploring the relation of reading disability to learning and language, to poverty and prejudice, and to instruction and schooling. The editors and authors are distinguished scholars with extensive research experience and publication records and numerous honors and awards from professional organizations representing the range of disciplines in the field of reading disabilities. Throughout, their contributions are contextualized within the framework of educators struggling to develop concrete instructional practices that meet the learning needs of the lowest achieving readers.

With his easy, hands-on “Step-by-Step Launchpad to Empowerment,” parents can take immediate steps to improve their children’s lives.

This workbook is created by Sherri Hicks, LMSW who has treated Eating Disorder patients at a nationally ranked Eating Disorder Treatment Center in Arizona and Stacey Lyddon who has served as a Peer Support Specialist and Artist. When a loved one has an Eating Disorder it effects the entire family and often young children have thoughts and emotions that need to be expressed. Emily's Guide encourages self-expression for children who witness confusing Eating Disorder behaviors. Being honest and answering a child's questions about Eating Disorders is extremely important to helping them to be resilient against their own Eating Disorder. The artwork is simple yet impactful when talking about something as abstract as "ED" (Eating Disorders) for children and lets them express themselves through art and writing. This book is positive and uplifting helping to build self-esteem and understanding that recovery is difficult but possible. Editorial Reviews: In praise of: Emily's Guide to Eating Disorders Eating Disorders continue to be among the most misunderstood diseases on earth. All too often fatal, these disorders rob men, women and children of their health, their dignity and their purpose. Eating Disorders also have a sinister impact on families, leaving parents, siblings, children and others in a quandary as to how to best support a suffering loved one. In this book, Sherri Hicks and Stacey Lyddon use their vast clinical and artistic skills to bring a story of love, care and concern for someone caught in the throes of an Eating Disorder to children in ways that make understanding something as truly awful as Anorexia to Bulimia possible. If you know a child (of any age) who is facing this dilemma, Emily's Guide to Eating Disorders is a must read. Jerry L. Law, D. Min., MDAAC, CIP is a veteran of 25 years in the corporate world, and his strong leadership and organizational skills lend themselves naturally to the intervention process. Dr. Law is a Board Certified Professional Christian Counselor, a Board Certified Intervention Professional and a Master Certified Drug Alcohol and Addictions Counselor. Jerry brings compassion and a first-hand understanding about how critical it is to break the cycle of addiction in the professional world as well as within the family. In the upheaval that follows an eating disorder diagnosis, young children and siblings are the walking wounded, unsure where to turn with their questions and emotions. With simple explanations and space for words and drawings, Emily's Guide to Eating Disorders offers a safe place for a child to express the experience of living with a loved one with an eating disorder. Highly recommend. - Jessica Setnick, MS, RD, CEDRD Eating Disorder Expert and Author of The Eating Disorders Clinical Pocket Guide
