Divided into two parts, the first explores the major cultural groups in the U.S. and how cultural and linguistic diversity impacts the assessment and treatment of communication disorders. Part II focuses on bilingual language development and specific communication disorders in culturally and linguistically diverse populations, techniques for multicultural assessment and intervention, and guidance for research. If you want to improve your quality of care to multicultural clients, this new edition is a must-have.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Dr. Battle's book is an attempt to be comprehensive about a subject of which volumes still need to be known. I particularly liked that she addresses disorders other than language acquisition. Her book, however, seems more appropriate for a graduate course than undergraduate." - Karen Mainess, Loma Linda Univ.
