Synopsis
For the vast majority of children acquiring speech and language skills is an effortless process. However there is a sizeable proportion of children for whom this is not true. Difficulties they experience may be associated with other conditions such as cleft palate or hearing loss or they may have no obvious cause. This book provides a comprehensive picture of the difficulties that occur when speech and language does not develop in the young child. Divided into two sections the first focuses on how such children should be identified and assessed. The second section provides specific insights into communication difficulties in different conditions. Each is written by an expert practitioner and is illustrated with specific examples. Based on best clinical practice and research-based evidence it is a practical guide fully referenced for those who wish to develop knowledge further. It is essential reading for all professionals who work with children particularly those who work in community settings.

'AN OUTSTANDING BOOK, fulfilling a marked need...I strongly recommend it to all health care professionals involved in the care and management of patients with issues of gender identity. Educators in medicine and the health sciences should consider recommending this book for their undergraduate students. It can truly be said that this book is a clinical gem.' MEDICAL JOURNAL OF AUSTRALIA 'The variability of presentation of persons on the gender/sex spectrum, with co-varying complications and diagnostic puzzles, is extensively and clearly presented in many vignettes... Very helpful to the uninitiated practitioner who rarely is confronted with a gender dysphoric patient.' RICHARD GREEN, ARCH SEX BEHAV
