Elementary mathematics and language difficulties a book for teachers, therapists and parents

"This book is written for teachers, therapists and parents who are trying to help children with combined difficulties in language and early mathematics. The author is a teacher with extensive experience in both mainstream primary teaching and in a special school for language impaired children. The book sets out to share her experience and also to lessen the gap between research findings and their possible applications." "Three questions provide the structure of the book: What are the specific learning characteristics of children with language difficulties? What are the critical points where such characteristics lead to difficulties in the mathematical syllabus? What can be done about them?" "The book is in two parts. Part One raises the problems, looks at research and suggests methods. Part Two picks up some of the methods and describes them in detail for the practitioner wanting to try them."--Jacket.
