Book Description

ISBN-10: 0769300154 | ISBN-13: 978-0769300153 | Publication Date: February 15, 2003 | Edition: 1

This manual presents state-of-the-art theory and practical information on the management of communication disability in older adults. The role of speech-language pathologists and audiologists in prevention and intervention is covered in detail with a realistic view of multidisciplinary care settings. Readers receive a strong foundation for understanding the impact of the environment, social and medical, as well as the aging and disease processes that affect communication of older adults. Emphasis is placed on going beyond knowledge of the impairment to understanding the consequence of the communication disability on the quality of daily life.
