Abstract:

The majority of children acquire language effortlessly but
approximately 10% of all children find it difficult especially in the
early or preschool years with consequences for many aspects of their
subsequent development and experience: literacy, social skills,
educational qualifications, mental health and employment. With
contributions from an international team of researchers, this book is
the first to draw together a series of new analyses of data related to
children's language development, primarily from large-scale nationally
representative population studies, and to bring a public health
perspective to the field. The book begins with a section on factors
influencing the patterns of language development. A second section
explores continuity and change in language development over time. The
third explores the impact on individuals with developmental language
disorders (DLD), the effectiveness of available interventions, and
broader issues about the need for equity in the delivery of services
to those with DLD.
