Description
This unit examines developmental communication disorders in terms of their relevance to normal language acquisition. The unit commences with an examination of the classification and causes of speech and language disorders in children. Topics include: phonological, syntactic, and semantic disorders; issues relating to deafness; and autism. The aim of the unit is for students to gain an understanding of the nature of developmental speech and language disorders. The unit will also teach students how to analyse linguistic data from children with a communication disorder. Frequent links will be made between theories of developmental disorders and clinical practice. Finally the unit will teach students how to access and evaluate the literature related to communication disorders.
