1.0 out of 5 stars book lingo at upper grad level but information for undergrad, November 29, 2000

By 

Gina Bablowski (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Intervention Planning for Children with Communication Disorders: A Guide for Clinical Practicum and Professional Practice (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

I used this book as a student because my teacher required it but the whole class had trouble deciphering what was said in the core of this book. As a result the grades for the class was lowered substantially. This book was written for undergraduate students before they start clinic but the terms found in this book are really what only a graduate post-graduate would understand. If you are looking for a book that will help in clarifying goal steps and procedures I admantly do not recommend this one, it will only confuse you more just like it did the rest of my peers.

2.0 out of 5 stars This book is a hard read, December 4, 2000

By 

Harry Thompson (Tualatin, OR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Intervention Planning for Children with Communication Disorders: A Guide for Clinical Practicum and Professional Practice (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

Good information is included in this book but it is no walk in the park to glean the knowledge from it. There are better books in print that do the same thing with a lot less confusion on the part of the reader.

This review is from: Intervention Planning for Children with Communication Disorders: A Guide for Clinical Practicum and Professional Practice (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book may be heavy for those that are not familiar with the Lahey paradigm. As I have had Dr. Moses for 4 different classes, and the main paradigm for language acquisition at LIU is the Lahey paradigm, this book brought everything he lectures on together for me. Some important aspects of intervention that this book describes include (a) how to collaborate with other professionals (b) how to take into account all aspects of a child (i.e. sensorimotor) and most importantly(c)down how to develop and write goals. This is going to be my bible.
