Complex communication disorders and educational mandates require coordinated efforts by teachers and therapists in mainstream, special unit (i.e. resource room in the US), and special school settings. Drawing from current literature and practice, Wright and Kersner (human communication science, U. College, London) offer strategies for forming effective professional partnerships. Some aspects are UK-specific, but most are generalizable. Distributed in the US by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
