A Bibliography on the Nature, Recognition and Treatment of Language Difficulties. Revised Edition.

This selected bibliography contains sources relevant to the general interests and specific needs of persons concerned with language and its disorders, especially specific language disability or ineptitude in learning the basic skills of language, such as dyslexia. The list was prepared first for students in language re-education at Hood College and elsewhere and for members of the Orton Society. The editor has examined carefully almost all the works listed and has read and used many of them for various purposes. A few have been included only on recommendations of colleagues and have not been annotated. The categorical divisions are as follows: medicine, neurology, psychology, general; language and semantics; education--general; various developmental and remedial approaches to language learning; specific language disability; psychological, achievement and diagnostic tests; manuals, workbooks, instructional materials, and texts for students; journals; bibliographies; and foreign references published abroad, especially in languages other than English. Also included are a source list, a title index, an author index, and a publication year sequence index. (MKM)
