Research in Clinical Pragmatics (Perspectives in Pragmatics, Philosophy & Psychology Book 11)

"This is the first volume to present individual chapters on the full range of developmental and acquired pragmatic disorders in children and adults. In chapters that are accessible to students and researchers as well as clinicians, this volume introduces the reader to the different types of pragmatic disorders found in clinical populations as diverse as autism spectrum disorder, traumatic brain injury and right hemisphere language disorder. The volume also moves beyond these well-established populations to include conditions such as congenital visual impairment and non-Alzheimer dementias, in which there are also pragmatic impairments. Through the use of conversational and linguistic data, the reader can see how pragmatic disorders impact on the communication skills of the clients who have them. The assessment and treatment of pragmatic disorders are examined, and chapters also address recent developments in the neuroanatomical and cognitive bases of these disorders."--Provided by publisher Front Matter....Pages i-xxiii Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Pragmatic Development....Pages 3-28 Pragmatic Language Impairment....Pages 29-57 Autism Spectrum Disorder....Pages 59-83 Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder....Pages 85-107 Intellectual Disability....Pages 109-129 Childhood Brain Tumour....Pages 131-164 Cerebral Palsy....Pages 165-178 Front Matter....Pages 179-179 Disruption of Pragmatics in Adulthood....Pages 181-210 Aphasias....Pages 211-242 Right-Hemisphere Pragmatic Disorders....Pages 243-266 Schizophrenia....Pages 267-290 Traumatic Brain Injury....Pages 291-322 Alzheimer’s Dementia....Pages 323-346 Non-Alzheimer Dementias....Pages 347-377 Parkinson’s Disease Without Dementia....Pages 379-407 Front Matter....Pages 409-409 Hearing Loss and Cochlear Implantation....Pages 411-439 Congenital Visual Impairment....Pages 441-469 Stuttering and Cluttering....Pages 471-490 Front Matter....Pages 491-491 Pragmatic Assessment and Intervention in Children....Pages 493-526 Pragmatic Assessment and Intervention in Adults....Pages 527-558 Front Matter....Pages 559-559 Neural Aspects of Pragmatic Disorders....Pages 561-585 Cognitive Aspects of Pragmatic Disorders....Pages 587-616 Psychosocial Aspects of Pragmatic Disorders....Pages 617-649
