Summary

"Grounded in cutting-edge research on brain-behavior relationships, this book explores how language and reading disorders develop and provides new approaches to studying and treating them. Experts from multiple disciplines investigate how children's learning trajectories in spoken and written language are shaped by the dynamic interplay of neurobiological, experiential, and behavioral processes. Throughout, many concrete examples bring complex ideas to life, and implications For evidence-based diagnosis, intervention, and instruction are discussed."--BOOK JACKET.
