Completely revised and substantially expanded, the new edition of this dictionary has also been largely rewritten with the assistance of a team of specialists from all the appropriate fields. The book provides clear and concise definitions of relevant terms in speech pathology, linguistics, phonetics and phonology, psychology and psychiatry, medicine, hearing, electronic devices and microcomputers. It also describes different types of therapy techniques, the use of particular tests to assist in making diagnoses, and the current theories in these fields. Though designed with students particularly in mind, the dictionary should also be of value to clinicians and practitioners seeking a guide to the terminology which has come into use since they qualified.

From the Back Cover
The fourth edition has been updated to include useful website addresses for manufacturers and suppliers of communication aids and publishers of assessments, and where to find useful information on the Internet for various conditions.
Since dictionaries need to reflect changes in terminology, the text has been revised completely with older terms and older technology systems being removed to make way for new terms and new technology systems. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
