The volume offers a review of studies conducted on the continuity between actions, gestures, and language in children with typical and atypical development. The five chapters of the book offer insights for new research and clinical practice with the aim of rethinking communication and language in relation to motor and cognitive development, and the surrounding environment. It is necessary to abandon entrenched and taken-for-granted ideas, as early diagnoses and interventions aimed at children with typical and atypical development must take into account the multimodal aspects of communication and language.
