Some children have difficulty acquiring the “nuts and bolts” of language from the get-go. Their stories are disorganized, disfluent, and incoherent. Other children have no trouble learning language, but they also struggle with expression.

To the untrained ear, both groups of children sound similar; their language is all muddled up.

Drs. Singer and Bashir team up to synthesize decades of research across multiple fields. We examine how cognitive systems support and constrain organized and coherent expression beyond the sentence and offer direction for intervention with students.

This is for

  • SLPs, special educators, literacy specialists, instructional coaches, and school psychologists
