Frame Work In Language And Literacy - How Theory Informs Practice G0949 #179

Many therapies and instructional models have been developed for children who have difficulties with language and literacy. How do speech-language pathologists, teachers, and other school-based practitioners decide which of these practices to implement -- and why do conflicts arise between professionals from different disciplines? In this book readers are guided to learn new practices, reflect on the frames that shape their existing practices, and deal more productively with "frame clashes" when they occur. Paving the way for reflective practices and cross-disciplinary collaboration, this is a much-needed resource for those working to help students succeed. Written in a clear and accessible style, the book reveals how frames of various kinds influence our understanding of children with language-learning difficulties. Tables and figures bring to life such imporatant examples of frames as the educational, the social, and the medical models used to interpret disabilities. Key features of the models are identified and implications for practice are drawn. Chapters explore the role of frames in diagnostics; assessment, intervention, instruction, and support; outcome measurement; and institutional practices, such as the use of IEP. Throughout, differences between frames are elucidated and strategies are provided for combining and selecting among commonly used frames. Building a much-neeed bridge between disciplines, this book will enhance the knowledge and skills of speech-language pathologists, general and special educators, reading specialists, and professionals in related fields. It is a uniquely informative text for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level courses dealing with language and literacy.
