This course discusses the latest evidence on how to treat children with CAS, key treatment components for optimal outcomes, and matching treatments to client profiles. Videos examples and case studies are included for additional practice.

Personal narratives offer unique opportunities to help students with developmental language disorders find their voices and improve their language.
