New!
Bilingual Language Development and Disorders in Spanish–English Speakers, Second Edition
Edited by Brian A. Goldstein, Ph.D., CCC-SLP

Foreword Author: D. Kimbrough Oller, Ph.D.



"During an era of accountability, evidence-based practice, and growing diversity, [this book] provides practicing speech-language pathologists and graduate students with content to advance their skills, contribute to their confidence and success, and maintain the integrity of the scope of practice.."—Joy Coulis, M.S., CCC-SLP

"A timely must-have reference for anyone working in multilingual settings, and for anyone concerned with the implementation of fair assessment practices which do justice to multilingualism."—Madalena Cruz-Ferreira, Ph.D., independent researcher in multilingualism and child language

Because dual language learners are the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. student population—and the majority speak Spanish as a first language—the new generation of SLPs must have comprehensive knowledge of how to work effectively with bilingual speakers. That's what they'll get in the second edition of this book, an ideal graduate-level text and an essential resource for every practicing SLP.

Fully updated with five new chapters on hot topics (see box), an expanded age range that includes infants and toddlers, and cutting-edge research findings, this book arms SLPs with the most current information on language development and disorders of Spanish-English bilingual children. More than 25 leading researchers give SLPs in-depth, high-level coverage of a broad range of critical topics, including

  • social-cultural factors affecting language acquisition

  • diagnosis of language disorders

  • effective professional development

  • infant/toddler language development

  • first language loss

  • bilingual lexical development

  • semantic development

  • verbal morphology and vocabulary

  • morphosyntactic development

  • code-switching

  • grammatical impairments

  • narrative development and disorders

  • phonological development and disorders

  • fluency

SLPs will have the sophisticated knowledge they need to accurately distinguish language disorders from typical bilingual development, and they'll get a complete language intervention framework they can use as a guide for their own practice.

Whether used as a graduate text or a trusted reference, this book will help SLPs fully understand the complexity of language development in bilingual children, diagnose disorders accurately, and conduct effective assessment and intervention for the growing number of Spanish–English bilingual speakers.

  • Literacy

  • Language Processing and Production in Infants & Toddlers
