Description: "The Hispanic Child: Speech, Language, Culture, and Education" addresses the issues and struggles of today's Hispanic school-age children. As Hispanics and Latinos are the fastest growing minority populations in the U.S., school-based speech-language pathologists and special educators need appropriate information in order to provide appropriate services. This book is a comprehensive volume that serves this necessary function. The text is made practical and accessible through the inclusion of "Best Practice" suggestions and the author's experiences. The Hispanic Child is meant to help all clinicians and educators understand their bilingual caseload, provide appropriate services, and approach all of their interactions with their bilingual students in an informed and compassionate manner.
