There's also a recent series that was on US public television called
"The Secret Life of the Brain". It looks at brain development
at various ages (infant, child, adolescent, adult, aging). The episode on
the child's brain (#2) focuses on language, with some reference
particular language disorders. It's available for about $20 from PBS

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Dear colleagues,<br><br>
A few weeks ago Brian MacWhinney placed a list of<i> non-documentary</i>
films on child language and language learning on the CHILDES website.
<br>
This prompted me to look for a similar list of more focused<i>
documentary</i> programmes on child and adult language learner speech,
first/second language acquisition and bilingualism for use in university
courses. <br>
According to Brian no such list exists. And our librarians have not
been very successful in tracing such documentaries either. <br>
Therefore I would welcome any useful pointers or references you might
have in this respect.<br><br>
