- Abstract
Purpose: This prologue introduces a clinical forum on adolescent language disorders, a topic that has long been of interest to school-based speech-language pathologists/therapists. Method: A rationale for the clinical forum is provided, and the content is contrasted with a previous forum on the same topic that was published nearly 20 years ago. Implications and directions for future research and practice in adolescent language disorders are discussed. Conclusions: Considerable progress has occurred in our understanding of the nature, assessment, and treatment of language and communication disorders in adolescents and young adults. Yet we continue to need to build the evidence base on the most effective and efficient ways of enhancing the spoken and written language skills of young people with language and communication disorders in academic, social, emotional, and vocational domains.
