Filling a critical gap in the field of language disorders, this book presents a scientifically validated screening system designed specifically for Chinese-speaking children. Combining insights from linguistics, neuroscience, and clinical paediatrics, the book presents innovative, culturally adapted diagnostic solutions that reshape the way we assess and identify language disorders in Chinese-speaking populations. The authors present a precise screening framework that uniquely integrates behavioural assessments with neurocognitive biomarkers, based on a large-scale multimodal database that includes linguistic, audiovisual, and neurocognitive data across Chinese dialects and ethnicities. The framework systematically addresses four core language skills – listening, speaking, reading, and writing – while taking into account the unique characteristics of Chinese language acquisition and developmental patterns. This essential resource will serve as a valuable guide for researchers and students in applied linguistics, paediatrics, and rehabilitation medicine. It will also appeal to professionals involved in language assessment, intervention, speech therapy, and special education language training, particularly those working with Chinese-speaking children.
