Work in this neglected field is greatly needed, and practitioners will welcome this practically oriented textbook. While its principal target audience is the undergraduate and newly qualified speech and language therapist (SLT), a wider audience is anticipated among other professionals. Attempting to cover the communication needs of the entire age range of people with learning disability it is useful to see the reality of the lifelong nature of developmental disability acknowledged: a reality often masked by the tendency on the part of service delivery and undergraduate training to compartmentalise into children and adults.
