"Divided into three sections, the text examines research with a focus on application to school-age students, and then analyzes the language difficulties associated with specific disability types. The third section focuses on contemporary assessment and instructional strategies. Kuder emphasizes research-based instructional techniques and discusses several new methods, including technology-based approaches."--BOOK JACKET.
