Paul, R. (1998). (Ed.) Exploring the speech-language connection. Baltimore: Paul H. Brookes.
This book explores the interaction between speech and language in typical development and the effect that interaction has on language disorders. Incorporating both clinical and theoretical perspectives, the authors analyze such issues as the role of speech in normal language development, prespeech vocal foundations for language, early sounds and words, co-morbidity in speech and language disorders, dysfluency, and the emergence of literacy. Special attention is given to specific conditions such as tracheostomies, Down syndrome, deafness, severe speech-motor impairments, and other disabilities. The authors thoughtfully explicate the clinical implications of the speech-language connection for each disorder discussed. Speech-language professionals will find insightful suggestions for developing effective programs to integrate speech and language management for children with communication disorders.

Miller, J. & Paul, R. The Clinical Assessment of Language Comprehension. Baltimore: Paul H. Brookes. 1995.
This dynamic manual contains 26 flexible, nonstandardized procedures for assessing the language comprehension of children from infancy to age 10. Organized by developmental level, these procedures allow speech-language pathologists the opportunity to tailor assessment to the abilities, interests, needs, and testing requirements of each child. Grounded in an in-depth discussion of the theoretical issues surrounding language comprehension assessment, this manual also includes 29 captioned plates for testing comprehension of word order. Reproducible scoring sheets, instructive case studies, and a helpful glossary make this clinical tool invaluable for assessing the language abilities of children who are very young, functioning at low levels, or unable to respond typically to standardized tests.
