This clinical guide educates speech-language pathologists on best practices in teaching and enhancing literacy skills in individuals with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Drawing on her extensive experience as a speech-language pathologist (SLP) and inspired by the author’s younger brother, Chuck – an adult with Down syndrome, Meredith Saletta Fitzgibbons has created a resource specifically to help practitioners prioritize literacy in a community that is often overlooked.The book covers literacy assessment and intervention in early childhood, the school years, and adulthood. It synthesizes tools to help promote literacy skills in the intellectual or developmental disability (IDD) population such as augmentative and alternative communication, leveled books and social stories. It also explores practical considerations for providers other than SLPs, such as first responders, medical doctors, educators and direct support professionals. Weaving personal narratives with practical applications, each chapter will be introduced by a “Chuck vignette:” a brief story about the author’s brother’s journey towards becoming a literate adult.With a busy practitioner in mind, Fitzgibbons highlights key takeaways and literacy goals throughout. The result is an essential resource for speech-language pathologists, as well as professionals working in related fields and family members of individuals with IDD.

Language, Literacy, and Learning: Theory and Application is an academic textbook for graduate students studying speech-language pathology and a useful clinical resource for practicing speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This text explores how aspects of orthography and word learning relate to speech production and reading comprehension in children and adults with typical development or language learning differences. It is essential that SLPs assess and treat language and literacy skills in their clients. Unlike other books, this text is designed to help SLPs build their own skillsets in facilitating the development of the literacy skills that are crucial for navigating educational, vocational, and recreational experiences.This evidence-based resource includes clinical examples to support chapter information, with a focus on the science of reading and writing, typical and exceptional reading and writing development, and assessments and interventions for individuals with reading and writing differences. The author uses a student-friendly writing style that promotes learning at various levels of thinking: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating.
