Rhea Paul (Author, Editor), Paul W. (Editor), Ph.D. Cascella (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 2, 2006 | ISBN-10: 1557668795 | ISBN-13: 978-1557668790 | Edition: 2

This is the second edition of Introduction to Clinical Methods in Communication Disorders which originally published in 2002. Like the first edition, this textbook guides SLPs through the entire clinical experience, including the process of assessment using a variety of instruments, sampling of communicative behaviors, and planning and implementing interventions. The chapters provide introductory and background information and also address current issues such as multiculturalism and technological advances. The book discusses a wide range of clinical approaches (pull out, consultation, collaboration) in a variety of settings (hospitals, schools, etc.) and shows how they apply across communication disorders. Based on standards mandated by ASHA, this second edition serves as an essential start to mastering the science and art of clinical practice.

Review

I will be using the second edition of the Paul book this fall. I'm very pleased that this edition contained the chapter on EBP, as I had to supplement it last year with information from other sources. --Department of Special Education & Communication Disorders, Bridgewater State College

This review is from: Introduction to Clinical Methods in Communication Disorders (Paperback)

This book has a wealth of information for students. I've used it for two classes now. I bought it new and the pages are falling out because I use it as a reference often. The book is easy to read (no eye glazing or reading the same line over and over again). I recommend this book even if you don't need it for a class.

This review is from: Introduction to Clinical Methods in Communication Disorders (Paperback)

My class has started this book from the back to the front. It is extemely helpful if you are entering the Speech/Language or Audiology fields. Lots of great information. My only complaint about this book is that each page doesn't note the chapter at the top of the page. So, when you're looking for a specific chapter while flipping through the book, you have to find the chapter title page.
