"This book will be indispensable in providing a broad understanding of the field for researchers specialising in specific disorders and the sections on the application of research findings to treatment interventions will be of particular interest to clinicians. The book is accessible and well written and is likely to be a key text on undergraduate and postgraduate courses." Child and Adolescent Mental Health, 2012"This is a must-have book for anyone interested in learningdisabilities. Hulme and Snowling are two of the world'sexperts in this rapidly developing field and their command of theirtopic is awe-inspiring. They have produced a beautifully written,amply illustrated, and wonderfully accessible introduction to theemerging science of atypical development." -Dr Bruce F.

It is a milestone in steadyprogress of evidence-based knowledge that is ripe for transfer tothe school and to the clinic." -Uta Frith, Emeritus Professor of CognitiveDevelopment, UCL Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience "A scholarly and well-organized account of the field. Thebook is authoritative because the authors themselves have conductedmajor research projects on all of the conditions featured in thetext." -Dorothy Bishop, Professor of DevelopmentalNeuropsychology, Department of Experimental Psychology, Universityof Oxford "An outstandingly good book. The authors are obviouslymasters of the science. The book argues persuasively for the needto take a developmental perspective." -Professor Sir Michael Rutter, Institute ofPsychiatry, London "In this outstanding book, the authors cover the fullrange of developmental disorders associated with language andcognition. They make a compelling case for the need to groundtheories of atypical development in deep understanding of typicaldevelopment. The presentation is at once sophisticated yet veryaccessible." -Professor Robert Kail, Department of PsychologicalSciences, Purdue University
