The Communication Disorders Workbook
The Communication Disorders Workbook
Designed to help those studying speech-language pathology, this highly useful workbook is both an introduction to the basic concepts and a teaching tool to develop and test students' knowledge. Frequently encountered communication disorders are included, as are conditions less commonly found in speech-language pathology curricula but which feature increasingly in clinical caseloads. The book features:
• 330 short-answer questions to help students to develop knowledge of the causes and features of communication disorders
• 60 data analysis exercises to give students practice in analysing clinical linguistic data
• Full answers to the exercises, saving the lecturer time in devising responses, and allowing students to use the responses to test their own knowledge and understanding
• A detailed glossary of terms, avoiding the need to consult other sources for explanations and making the text self-contained
• Suggestions for further reading for each chapter.
- Provides comprehensive coverage with exercises and data relating to the full range of developmental and acquired communication disorders
- Contains suggestions for further reading for each chapter, which are pitched at the appropriate level
- All data analysis exercises are based on actual clinical data, so readers gain by working with authentic data which reflects what they will encounter in a clinical setting
