This booklet offers practical, easy-to-read suggestions for teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents to help them understand language development and language disabilities. The first section highlights some of the factors involved in language development. The second section deals with some of the common causes for language disabilities and provides numerous suggestions for appropriate language activities. Cartoon-style drawings illustrate the text.
