Book SynopsisThis book focuses explicitly on therapeutic techniques developed from a social model approach to disability and learning to live with difference. It describes theories, activities and methods of implementation developed from the work of Connect with people with long term aphasia. Theoretical discussion runs alongside practical ideas for therapy and evaluation, case studies and commentaries from the authors regarding the method and means of implementation. Synthesises theory and practice in this new area of service delivery. Its non-impairment led focus of the therapies means that it has wide appeal to therapists, health service professionals and volunteers who work with people with chronic disabilities affecting lifestyle and communication.Trade Review'This simply written and excellently organised book describes an integrated social and linguistic model and practice for living with aphasia...is a highly useful clinical guide and resource for those working in rehabilitation centres or community agencies' - Marilyn Gomberg-Silver, Aphasia Institute, Toronto, Ontario, JSLPA 'The material is clearly written and the book provides well produced visual aids...particularly impressive is the drawing by Daniel of stress and aphasia.

Book SynopsisThrough the medium of detailed clinical case reports, written by well-respected clinicians and researchers working internationally in the field, Clinical Cases in Dysarthria discusses the challenges, and rewards of applying evidence-based procedures to people with dysarthria in real-life busy routine clinical settings. The text opens with an introduction to the latest research and practices within dysarthria treatment and sets the scene for the eight individual case reports which follow. These case reports form the core chapters of the text and cover themes that range from clinical diagnostic conundrums to applying popular, and/or novel intervention approaches to different populations where dysarthria presents. Each chapter has a specific argument drawing on theoretical principles of assessment and rehabilitation, incorporating latest research evidence to help readers problem-solve similar cases in their clinical practice. Throughout the text, readers are encourTrade Review"'What do I need to do to make a difference?' might be our most important and frequently asked question as clinicians. In this insightful and accessible presentation of Clinical Cases in Dysarthria, well-known authors and editors Margaret Walshe and Nick Miller describe, together with invited authors, a number of relevant and informative case examples, cases that reveal the depth and complexity of the communication problems faced by individuals with dysarthria and their clinicians. And they do it with the passion to make a difference. Walshe and Miller provide us with an opportunity to learn from individuals and to thereby find principles to apply in other cases. We gain new perspectives, rather than just solving problems." -- Professor Lena Hartelius, Department of Health and Rehabilitation, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.'"What do I need to do to make a difference?" might be our most important and frequently asked question as clinicians.

Book SynopsisThis book, the first in an exciting new series, provides speech and language therapy students and newly qualified and beginning stammering specialists with 100 key points that will help form a strong foundation for their work supporting adults and teenagers who stammer.Composed of practical, relevant and useful advice from an experienced clinician, chapters break advice down into sections which include information about the therapeutic relationship, therapeutic approaches and signposts to further resources. Throughout the book, comments from stammering specialists describe what they wish they had known at the start of their careers. This book: Puts the person who stammers at the heart of therapy, following the clinical choices they might make Is written in an accessible style, designed to be dipped in and out of as required Draws on the experience of therapists working with those who stammer Full of advice and guidance to support Trade ReviewDr Trudy Stewart has done it again: written a highly accessible, comprehensive and practical book aimed at newly qualified and therapists starting to specialise in stammering. I would argue that this book is also useful for experienced speech and language therapists looking to keep up-to-date with the latest thinking on therapy approaches for young people and adults who stammer.Navigating Adult Stammering has a pleasing logical structure, starting (quite rightly) with the person who stammers, moving onto the therapist and the relationship between the two, before describing a range of therapy approaches. In this way the reader gains an overview of the different options available. The book is peppered with useful example of real people Trudy has worked with over the years and their stammering therapy journeys, bringing to life the therapy process. In this way Trudy generously shares her skills and knowledge and is not afraid to describe when she has not always got things right and what she learnt from those experiences. In line with this desire to share learning from others, she includes comments from practising therapists reflecting on what they wish they had known at the start of their work with dysfluent clients.Another useful feature occurring throughout the book is the way Trudy highlights commonly occurring difficulties/challenges and possible solutions when describing particular ways of working. In this way Trudy skilfully anticipates the questions often posed by therapists new to the stammering field: ‘what do I do if this happens?’. Moreover, she signposts the reader to a list of useful resources at the end of every section.The two sections which I believe deserve particular mention focus on psychological approaches and the stammer more proudly movement, the former for the way it brings so many different psychological approaches together in one place, the latter for its inclusive and reflective content. For any therapist working in stammering, whether new to the area or experienced, it is incredibly helpful to become more knowledgeable about the ways a client can be supported psychologically and how we as therapists are often the best people to carry out this role.With regards to the Stammer more proudly section. I was deeply impressed by the way Trudy describes this relatively new way of considering stammering through the lens of the social model of disability. She takes into account ground-breaking work in this area as well as seeking individual views of people who stammer. She does not shy away from reflecting on the potentially uncomfortable questions the stammer more proudly movement pose for us as therapists, and how her own thinking and practice has changed. In summary, Trudy proves herself once again to be the ultimate clinician’s clinician. Drawing upon her decades of working with people who stammer, she offers through this book an invaluable overview and insight into how we as therapists can best empower our clients who stammer.Rachel Everard, Speech Therapy, City Lit., LondonRecently, the publishing market has come with more and more increasingly valuable publications on stammering. Trudy Stewart's book, although intended for newly qualified speech-language therapists and those just starting to specialize in stammering, will – without a doubt – be enthusiastically received by experienced fluency experts as well. This publication covers all the essential topics related to the stammering intervention. Attentive readers are granted access to both – the primary theoretical content and the details on stammering therapy practice. The publication also discusses the psychological approaches used in stammering. Furthermore, the author explains complex topics, e.g., relapse in stammering therapy. The book is written clearly and reader-friendly while integrating updated knowledge with the author's rich clinical experience. From the very beginning, the reader will confront a holistic and humanistic approach to stammering and people who stammer. This book promotes stammering therapy based on trust, acceptance, and partner cooperation between the speech-language therapist and the clients along with their families and community.The uniqueness of this book is that it was written by a wise, extraordinarily experienced, and modest professional who emphasizes building a partner relationship from the first moments of contact with the client. The author shows how important it is to become an attentive therapist who can listen to the clients – learn from them and with them. It should be appreciated how open and ready the author is to share her own thoughts, be authentic and sincere in contact with the client. Her eagerness as an SLT to reveal her imperfections is laudable. Her understanding and acceptance toward the stammering phenomenon and individuals who stammer can model her readers. Above all, the commentaries by the experienced clinicians, including the author herself, wishing that they had attained this knowledge when they were newly qualified clinicians have added vital wisdom. These comments are a treasure trove and contain important lessons for any clinician. I cannot wait for this book to be available in the bookstores. As a professor, I can imagine how meaningful it will be for speech-language therapy students to familiarize themselves with its content. I wish I had had the opportunity to read this book when I took my first steps in stammering therapy.Professor Katarzyna Węsierska, University of Silesia in Katowice, Poland, European Fluency Specialist & ECSF coach, International Cluttering Association Secretary Despite stammering being a core part of Speech and Language Therapy training, the first steps into working with clients who stammer can be daunting. I well remember the anxiety before stepping into the waiting room to greet my first adult client who stammered. What if they ask me something I couldn’t answer? Am I up to the job of this ‘specialist’ area? And, worst of all, what if my lack of experience makes their situation worse? In this book, Dr Trudy Stewart eases the transition into the world of working with adults who stammer by acknowledging these worries and providing clear and sensible steps forward. Dr Stewart has long been a leading voice in the field of stammering. Her background of clinical work, leadership, research and teaching all have a common thread of ‘client-centeredness’ woven through them. The same is true from this book. Through these navigational points she provides a road map for working with adults who stammer, but with the reassurance that the final destination isn’t ours to know. The client will set the destination and choose the mode of travel. Our job is to help plan the route and make appropriate stop offs at key places. Through a clearly laid out and accessibly written series of chapters we are guided through this journey; starting with first principals about stammering and challenging the potential preconceptions that newer clinicians may have about their role and purpose when working with adults who stammer, moving through initial meetings and case histories and into the range of therapy and support options we may employ. To do this she draws on well-established ways of working and also introduces newer ideas (e.g., stammer more proudly) with equal weighting to the old. She shares what has worked from personal and shared experiences, as well as discussing what the academic literature has to say on the subject, suggesting stop off points along the way by sign posting resources or further reading for those who wish to delve deeper. Throughout the book Dr Stewart provides a neutral discussion about the range of approaches to working with stammering, placing herself firmly in the midpoint, not pushing a particular approach on the client, but being there to explore options and find what works for them. Each chapter is broken down into short bite sized points to consider along the journey. This allows the reader to dip in and out of the book, using the book as a reference guide and checking in throughout working with the client. I heartily recommend this book to clinicians taking their first steps into the world of stammering. I’m certain that had this been available to me as a new clinician I would have had a well thumbed copy in the top drawer of my desk at all times. And who knows, I may still do so. Whilst reading this book I couldn’t help but reflect on the clients that I’m currently working with, checking in that I had spent enough time at each stage of the journey, making sure that I hadn’t missed or over looked part of the process. After all, even experienced travellers need a map sometimes.Ben Bolton-Grant, Course Director, MSc Speech and Language Therapy, Speech and Language Sciences, Leeds Beckett UniversityI never thought I’d say this about a textbook but this book is a great read! The book is filled with an extensive variety of information and approaches which is not only detailed, but clear and comprehensive. From a Speech and Language Therapist (SLT) student’s perspective (having not learnt about stammering yet), the book gave me a deep insight into dysfluency and most importantly, individuals who stammer. Trudy truthfully reflects on her personal growth as a therapist and emphasises the positivity in inexperience; showing your uncertainty and vulnerability is an influential approach when working with a client. I can only imagine how useful this book will be to a therapist who is feeling inexperienced in a role where they are new to stammering. The advice felt relatable and reassuring, whilst reminding me that we, as therapists, should always aspire to self-improve. What traits can I develop further? What can I do now that I wasn’t doing before? The use of hypothetical situations, real-life case examples and analogies helps evoke a profound sense of empathy and understanding from the reader - making the book distinct in contrast to other textbooks. By the end of the book, I felt I had a well-rounded, holistic view of the person who stammers and the various therapy approaches. The use of critical evaluation in the book on perspectives such as the medical and social models of disability also allows the reader to challenge the generalizations and stereotypes associated with stammering.This book is invaluable to a therapist new to stammering, as Trudy talks about knowledge that she wishes she had known at the start of her role. I really recommend this book, whether it is utilised to update therapists on new research or as a starting out ‘go to’ resource. I will certainly take forward many of the book’s approaches and advice into my future as a SLT.Isobel Hart, Student Speech & Language therapist Dr. Trudy Stewart has composed a true gift for both Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) working in the field of Stammering, as well as clients seen by therapists who read this book. I would go as far to say that this brilliantly structured book is a Stammering Therapy Bible for SLTs. Dr. Stewart’s wealth of knowledge and experience is admirable, and she has created a practical, applicable, and generalisable guide for SLTs. This book is extremely comprehensive whilst remaining concise and easy to read and navigate, and is essential reading for SLTs in this field. It will support therapists to be truly person-centred, use evidence-based practise, and empower and promote advocacy for a person with a stammer. The incorporation of advice regarding how to be a good therapist and build an appropriate, strong, therapeutic relationship is invaluable. For newly qualified therapists or those starting out in this area, the many therapeutic methods in this field can often feel overwhelming and daunting; however, this book consolidates the extensive volume of research and therapy approaches available into an organised filing cabinet. The anecdotal examples, structure and diagrams make this book highly accessible and enable a therapist to apply their knowledge from this book to their practise. This book is also a fantastic resource for further reading, as Dr. Stewart provides references and recommendations regarding where to find further information on specific areas- essentially, doing all the legwork and saving many hours of research for the reader. Furthermore, this book is highly relevant to current times in terms of considering and exploring newer approaches such as telehealth, the social model to health, the importance of psychological approaches such as mindfulness, and stammering pride. I am truly grateful for Dr. Stewart’s ability to create such an enjoyable, comprehensive, and accessible book for which I would like to thank her on behalf of all SLTs with an interest in this area.Ashleigh Wolinsky, Speech and Language Therapist, Gesher SchoolIt's far too common to see a great divide in the world of stuttering. The divide between the top of the iceberg and the bottom of the iceberg, between professionals and people who stutter, between the push to change and the need to accept, between the individual journey and the broader movements.This book weaves it together - presenting a broader range of perspective and experiences. The reader of this book will be smarter about stuttering in general.And more importantly and far more rare, the reader will understand more of the inside story.Uri Schneider, MA CCC-SLP, Director, Schneider Speech Faculty, University of California Riverside School of MedicineTable of ContentsIntroduction Section A: The Person who Stammers Section B: The therapist Section C: The therapeutic relationship Section D: Beginning sessions Section E: Therapy: General points Section F: Therapy: Fluency modification or speak more fluently approach Section G: Therapy: Stammering modification or stammer more easily approach Section H: Therapy: Stammer more proudly Section I: Psychology approaches Section J: Maintaining positive outcomes and planning for the re-emergence of roles and behaviours Section K: Support Networks Final Thoughts Appendix 1: Formal assessments currently in use Appendix 2: Cognitive Restructuring: learning to attach unhelpful thoughts

Book SynopsisIn children, mental health challenges and communication differences typically combine in complex and inter-related ways. Remarkably, this crucial point is all too often forgotten, and communication is overlooked. Services are frequently fragmented, leading professionals to look at children through distinct lenses of either mental health or communication, meaning insights can be incomplete and important perspectives unshared.Working with Child and Adolescent Mental Health makes the compelling case that communication is central and should be a primary consideration whenever we think about childrenâs mental health. With a practical focus, and an easy- to-read format, it suggests how this can be achieved by identifying how practitioners and services can work more cohesively to understand and optimise childrenâs communication capacities.This book includes: Practical advice, grounded in current research, and presented in an easy-to-read, digestible styleTrade Review“Addressing mental health needs in children and young people is one of the most urgent challenges of our time. McCool makes a compelling case for placing social communication at the centre of managing these needs. This book is essential reading for all speech-language pathologists involved in the care of these clients.” Louise Cummings, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, China “This is an important book for anyone who wants to support young people’s mental health, offering both theoretical and practical insights. Communication support needs are often overlooked in young people with mental health issues although they can have devastating implications, not least on the efficacy of any intervention offered.” Melanie Cross, Speech and language therapist, author, and video interaction guidance supervisor “The format of this book is beautifully balanced: it is authoritative, yet concisely and clearly written; it is highly practical yet packed with useful information. It will go a long way towards closing the gap between speech and language therapy and the rest of the child mental health world.” Helen Minnis, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University of Glasgow, Scotland "This book is an excellent resource for SLTs working, in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) and anywhere else where a child or young person has mental health needs. It is the book I have been waiting for since I started working in an inpatient CAMHS service. The book is full of useful resources which can be used straight away, and it is written in a very accessible format. There are very clear examples of why it is so important to look at both communication and mental health and it describes how these are so intertwined. I feel it is also a useful resource for other mental health professionals to help them understand why SLTs are so important in mental health settings." - Hayley Rosenthall, Advanced Specialist SLT, RCSLT Bulletin, Winter 23/24 Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Tables Introduction Chapter 1: The central role of language and communication Chapter 2: Ways of thinking about mental health and communication Chapter 3: Practitioner competencies Chapter 4: Learning from experience Chapter 5: Considering social communication in children and young people Chapter 6: Responding to social communication needs Chapter 7: Changing contexts and cultures Index

Book SynopsisIn this classic edition of their ground-breaking work, Usha Goswami and Peter Bryant revisit their influential theory about how phonological skills support the development of literacy. The book describes three causal factors which can account for children's reading and spelling development: pre-school phonological knowledge of rhyme and alliteration the impact of alphabetic instruction on knowledge about phonemes links between early spelling and later reading. This classic edition includes a new introduction from the authors which evaluates research from the past 25 years. Examining new evidence from auditory neuroscience, statistical modelling and orthographic database analyses, as well as new data from cognitive developmental psychology and educational studies, the authors consider how well their original ideas have stood up to the test of time.Phonological Skills and Learning to Read will contiTrade ReviewThis book really gives one the feeling that progress has been made. The meticulous stock-taking evident in the extensive literature review has brought this out. The great puzzle of the phoneme in literacy is virtually solved. The hunt for this solution has been one of the most exciting enterprises in psychology today. Moreover, it has brought developmental psychology into direct contact with educational practice. This book is scholarly yet clear, didactic yet fun to read. It can be recommended to anybody who has ever wondered how children learn to read…I am wholly enthusiastic about this book, and I believe that it will be much in demand as a set course book. - Uta Frith, MRC Cognitive Development Unit, London, UK Goswami and Bryant have provided us with an excellent book. It is clearly written and a delight to read. It is relevant to both theory and the practical task of teaching children to read. It will, deservedly, be read by a wide audience. - Margaret Snowling, Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this monograph…The argument is a delight…This will be a very valuable contribution to thinking about the role of phonological processing in reading and in learning to read, but it will also be usable as an undergraduate text. I shall certainly consider using it to support my own course on Reading and Understanding. -Geoffrey Underwood, University of Nottingham, UK Goswami and Bryant assemble an impressive number of research studies which bear on their thesis, outlining them clearly and succinctly. They write persuasively but never dogmatically, revealing a refreshing willingness to give credit to theoretical positions other than their own. This book deserves serious attention by all those who are keen to relate the practice of the teaching of reading to theory which is firmly grounded in careful empirical work. -Katherine Perera, The Times Higher Education Supplement Perhaps the real contribution of this attractive monograph is that it offers a new conceptualisation of the relationship between speech and literacy which can give an exciting direction for future research. -P.H.K. Seymour, The Times Higher Educational Supplement I think this is an excellent and timely book. It has been a pleasure reviewing it. -Charles Hulme, University of York, UKThis is a revised edition of the authors' groundbreaking work, which revists their theory about how phonlogical skills support the development of literacy.
