This new textbook incorporates 25 years of research and clinical practice using language sample analysis. It completes the series of learning materials providing both the conceptual background of LSA and practical guidelines for using SALT. This customized book, for New Zealand and Australia, is a result of a long-term collaboration with Gail Gillon and Marleen Westerveld from the Department of Communication Disorders at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand. This book is included as a PDF file with all purchases of SALT software. A printed copy of this book is not available.
