This was my introduction to the subject, and so I'm not qualified to comment on its accuracy. I did find it to be well written and laid out. I particularly liked the way they beat into your head that if you have a student with a behavior disorder you need to get them a speech/language evaluation. I also enjoyed the way they tied language to literacy, because duh.
