This unit examines developmental communication disorders in terms of their relevance to normal speech and language acquisition. Topics include: normal speech and language development; issues relating to speech and language disorders in children with hearing impairments, autism spectrum disorders, developmental delays, and others. The aim of the unit is for students to gain an understanding of the nature of developmental speech and language disorders. The unit also teaches students how to analyse linguistic data from children with communication disorders. Frequent links are made between theories of developmental disorders and clinical practice. Finally, students evaluate research literature related to communication disorders in young children.
