Treatment Protocols for Language Disorders in Children: Essential Morphologic Features (1)

Contains protocols for teaching basic language skills for children with language disorders. The protocols give scripted scenarios for teaching most of the bound morphemes of English that children with language disorder typically lack. These include: basic words; regular and irregular plurals; possessive; present progressive; prepositions; pronouns; auxiliaries and copula; regular and irregular past tense; articles; conjunctions; adverbs; regular third person singular. For each target skill, 20 exemplars are available for the clinician to baserate, treat, and probe for generalized production. Most children can be advanced to relatively complex social communication skill level training only when they have mastered the basic morphologic features. Because the clinicians roughly sequence in this manner, the basic morphologic skills and more advanced social communication skills are described in two separate volumes, the companion volume being entitled Treatment Protocols for Language Disorders in Children: Social Communication. These titles are also available as a combined-price two-volume set, detailed below. All target skill exemplars, detailed scripts, and recording sheets are provided on both the printed text and an accompanying CD. The forms on this CD are customizable and allow clinicians to modify forms to suit the client.
