Speech and language disorders Books

Book SynopsisOver the past decade, the evolution of distance learning technology and widespread availability of affordable, high-quality video conferencing solutions has allowed for the growth of telepractice in the field of speech-language pathology. Increasingly, practitioners are developing telepractice programs to provide family-centered early intervention services, speech and language therapy to children in public schools, and rehabilitation to adults recovering from aphasia as well as those with speech and swallowing disorders. Telepractice in Speech-Language Pathology provides practical information to speech-language pathologists to facilitate in implementing a successful telepractice program. It presents the technological requirements, current applications in speech-language pathology, policy and regulatory issues, future directions and trends, and international perspectives on telepractice. The book also addresses the use of distance learning technology to provide supervision and mentoring to pre-service and in-service professionals. Both practitioners currently in the field and graduate students in speech-language pathology will find this to be an invaluable text.Trade ReviewJean Blosser, CCC-SLP, EdD, President, Creative Strategies for Special Education, (2015): "Prior to reading Houston's book, Telepractice in Speeh-Language Pathology, I made a mental note of questions I often hear regarding telepractice and service delivery in our profession. I wondered if this book would address those questions. I'm happy to report that it did. Thus, I give this book a thumbs up and highly recommend it as a good addition to your library if you want to understand telepractice, consider delivering services via technology, invest in alternative approaches to treatment or supervision, or add this delivery method as a new service option to your practice. My five questions concerned: technical specifications, reimbursement, professional qualifications, populations that would benefit from services in this mode, and recommendations for application. This is the first book I am aware of that is entirely devoted to the delivery of speech-language pathology and rehabilitation services at a distance. The 12 chapters were contributed by Houston and a host of other professionals who are seen as experts and/or pioneers in the field. They cover a wide range of geographic regions, disability populations, business interests, and service options. While there were a number of contributors, Houston did a great job of ensuring that the content was presented cohesively. The book lays an excellent foundation by providing a historical perspective on the evolution telepractice and an overview on how other professions utilize telepractice. There is also a thoughtful explanation of where to begin if interested in initiating telepractice services. The role of federal regulations was clearly explored. It supported the concept that the quality, security, and treatment outcomes of service delivery via a telepractice platform must be the same as those services offered onsite. One of the strengths of the book is the focus on efficacy. Many chapters included discussion of challenges, benefits, and recommendations for utilizing telepractice in service delivery and highlighted how this mechanism can be applied to specific populations or aspects of service delivery. For example, challenges such as time, travel, logistics, availability of qualified professionals, and continuity of services can be resolved. Authors addressing provision of telepractice in the school setting offered information, practical suggestions, and guidelines. A helpful needs assessment form was included. Chapters also addressed employing telepractice for supervision of university students and Clinical Fellows, stuttering, and adult speech and swallowing disorders. Individuals and organizations that are considering incorporating telepractice into their practice or business model will appreciate the authors' experiences and perspectives on important personal, business health, and financial aspects. Discussions include comments about tools for business as well as developing and growing a customer base. Of interest as well is the discussion about telepractice in international services. The last chapter is very interesting as the authors provide insights into the future of telepractice and service delivery. The Appendices contain practical tools and information including the school needs assessment tool and information about the ASHA Practice Portal. Finally, there is a Blueprint for Telepractice Guidelines that highlights Administrative Principles, Clinical Principles, Technical Principles, and Ethical Principles. This book is now on my shelf and will be my "go to" resource for questions I receive when I consult with schools, healthcare programs, and businesses interested in knowing more about telepractice."Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements Contributors History, Definitions, and Overview of Telepractice Models K.

Book SynopsisThis anatomy and physiology workbook, now in its second edition, is a unique study guide for introductory courses and textbooks in speech and hearing anatomy and physiology. Whether taught face to face or online, anatomy and physiology courses are dense in content and new material, and a practical book is much needed for undergraduate training in speech pathology. Recognizing this, the authors, all experienced practitioners as well as instructors, have produced such a text, ensuring also that it does not suffer from being unnecessarily complex and academic. The Workbook is organized into seven units. The first unit contains a comprehensive synopsis of anatomy and physiology, including content such as locator terms, planes of reference and anatomical position, enabling students to learn the vocabulary needed to study anatomy and physiology. The second unit takes a brief look at the basics of cells and tissues to form a foundation for study of larger structures. The remainder of the Workbook organizes speech and hearing anatomy into the functional categories of respiration, phonation, articulation, as well as the nervous and auditory systems.The organization of this study-guide workbook complements the content of most speech and hearing anatomy textbooks currently on the market, as well as online courses. Each unit provides an extremely well written, practical summary of the particular speech and hearing system (unit), followed by learning objectives, specific questions students can answer in outline format, and finally a Self-Test. Unique study guide for introductory courses. Designed as a primary text or to work with extant textbooks and online courses. Features summaries of learning units, learning objectives, questions and Self-Tests. Practical questions and organization of this workbook will guide students through their learning of anatomy and physiology. For the second edition, the authors have added an Active Learning Guide for enhanced student comprehension. The Active Learning Guide contains information to help students respond to items in the Workbook. This section includes suggested responses to blank spaces sketch boxes in the Study Outline units. These new features help students assimilate and master the basics of anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing.The use of multiple sources and repeated exposure reinforces learning and will lead students to the ultimate goal: practical application of the material.Trade ReviewJessica Greenway, Nottingham University Hospitals, UK, ENT News, (2008): "...Clear and concise and well-paced throughout its structured units... Should provide an excellent degree of detail to be used as a valuable academic and clinical resource for students and newly qualified practitioners in a variety of health care professions. [Refers to First Edition]" Andrew B. John, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, International Journal of Audiology, 2013: "...Authors Culbertson, Christensen, and Tanner introduce the Guide as "intend[ed] to augment a one-semester (or two quarters) undergraduate course in anatomy and physiology of human communication". Students at this level will appreciate the clear and colloquial tone with which concepts are presented... The Guide's organization of topic areas into bulleted lists and study suggestions allows a student to reduce what can be an overwhelming amount of new information into more easily digestible pieces... In most respects, the Study Guide serves its intended purpose as a supplementary text well. The book is written at an appropriately technical level for an audience of beginning learners."Table of ContentsSTUDY GUIDE WORKBOOK Introduction Unit 1: Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology Synopsis of Anatomy and Physiology Objectives and Study Guide Study Outline Self Test Unit 2: Cytology and Histology Synopsis of Cytology and Histology Objectives and Study Guide Study Outline Self Test Unit 3: The Respiratory System Synopsis of the Respiratory System Objectives and Study Guide Study Outline Self Test Unit 4: The Phonatory Mechanism Synopsis of the Phonatory System Objectives and Study Guide Study Outline Self Test Unit 5: The Articulatory Mechanism Synopsis of the Articulatory System Objectives and Study Guide Study Outline Self Test Unit 6: The Nervous System Synopsis of the Nervous System Objectives and Study Guide Study Outline Self Test Unit 7: 'The Auditory System Synopsis of the Auditoryu System Objectives and Study Guide Study Outline Self Test ACTIVE LEARNING GUIDE ANSWER KEY to WORKBOOK ITEMS Introduction and Suggestions for Use Unit 1: Introduction to Anatomy Unit 2: Cytology and Histology Unit 3: The Respiratory System Unit 4: The Phonatory Mechanism Unit 5: The Articulatory Mechanism Unit 6: The Nervous System Unit 7: The Auditory System Answers to Workbook Self Tests Index References and Recommended Readings

Book SynopsisThis book, now in its second edition, is a practical resource that helps speech-language pathologists, educators, and other professionals understand how poverty affects children's developing language and provides strategies that support these children and their families. The author, a university professor and part-time itinerant speech-language pathologist in the schools, balances research and practical, "Monday morning" strategies for professionals who want to help low-socioeconomic status (SES) students from preschool through high school succeed in school and, eventually, in society. The text presents up-to-date information about the "culture of poverty" and background information on factors impacting low-income children's language skills. It goes on to provide practical strategies for nonbiased assessment, intervention, structuring the school environment, and working with families.Helpful new features in the second edition include: Chapter highlights at the end of each chapter References to many new research studies Content grounded in principles of evidence-based practice Practice recommendations based in research from a variety of disciplines, such as social science, speech-language pathology, neuroscience, and education New case studies of the author's actual clients Because the Great Recession has rendered so many more families homeless, the second edition includes much more information about serving homeless students, including mitigating the effects of chaos through increasing executive functioning skills. The author works directly with homeless people on the streets and therefore includes a broad-based (hands-on and research) perspective about meeting the unique needs of this population. The second edition contains new information about using Response to Intervention (RtI) to serve low-SES students in general education classroom settings. Updated technology recommendations (e.g., using iPad and YouTube technology) are presented. The section on increasing the literacy skills of low-SES students has been expanded, as well.In sum, the second edition of Increasing Language Skills of Students from Low-Income Backgrounds is a must-have for any professional who serves students and their families from low-SES backgrounds.Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments 1.

Book SynopsisFamily caregivers are those who provide continuous, unpaid care to family members and friends who are unable to care for themselves. Caregivers can be trained by speech-language pathologists and audiologist to augment goals established to remediate communication disorders and can be instrumental in motivating clients to complete a program of therapy. However, family caregivers are themselves vulnerable to a number of debilitating conditions as a result of the physical and emotional toll that daily caregiving can take. The stressors are well documented, including the development of chronic diseases, premature death, fatigue, and depression. In addition, caregivers and their coping styles differ according to cultural expectations, and these differences are described in detail here. The book also includes information on caregiver resources that specialize in support areas such as transportation to and from the clinic, financial literacy, respite care, meals, end of life care, advance directives, and home health services. It is a much needed resource for clinicians who provide education and counseling to adult patients and their families.

Book SynopsisManagement of Swallowing and Feeding Disorders in Schools examines the most significant issues in swallowing and feeding facing school-based speech-language pathologists (SLPs). Topics addressed are unique to the school setting, ranging from organizing a team procedure in a district to serving children with complex medical issues, behavioral feeding disorders, and neurological feeding disorders. Ethical, legal, and cultural issues are also addressed.Many students exhibit the signs and symptoms of dysphagia, and children who were originally treated for dysphagia in hospitals and other settings often begin attending public schools at three years old. The difficulty they had with swallowing and feeding frequently follows them to the school setting. Further, there are many students who develop swallowing and feeding disorders as a result of traumatic brain injury, neurological disorders and syndromes, behavioral disorders, and so forth. The range of students needing services for swallowing and feeding disorders in the school setting can be from three to twenty-two years of age and from mild dysphagia to tube feeding.The identification and treatment of swallowing and feeding disorders in schools is relatively new. There are still many districts in the country and internationally that do not address the needs of children with dysphagia. As school-based SLPs take on the challenge of this population there is a need for information that is current, accurate, and thorough. University programs include very little training, if any, at this time in the area of swallowing and feeding in the school setting. This text is appropriate for both a dysphagia course as well as courses that train SLP students to work with school-aged students.Table of ContentsForeword by Joan C.

Book SynopsisMCI and Alzheimer's Dementia: Clinical Essentials for Assessment and Treatment of Cognitive-Communication Disorders is the ideal choice for instructors who teach an adult language disorders course that includes a unit devoted to cognitive-communication disorders of adults with dementia. It succinctly presents the critical information about the cognitive-communicative disorders associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease. The population of individuals with Alzheimer's is exploding (a new case is diagnosed every seven seconds), and MCI has emerged as an important condition that SLPs can help identify and treat. MCI and Alzheimer's Dementia: Clinical Essentials for Assessment and Treatment of Cognitive-Communication Disorders is unique for several reasons: It focuses on the most common dementia-producing disorder, Alzheimer's disease. It contains cutting-edge information about MCI, a very early stage of Alzheimer's disease that has gained worldwide interest because early identification provides options for early behavioral and/or pharmacologic treatments and because SLPs have a role in its identification and treatment.It covers the clinical essentials that students and practicing professionals need to know - definition, assessment, and treatment of MCI and AD. It is written by individuals who have had decades of funding to study the cognitive-communication disorders of dementia and who have developed standardized tests that are widely used by SLPs. It is smaller than a text and larger than a book chapter and thus provides an economical way to learn the clinical essentials of this, the profession's fastest growing clinical population. MCI and Alzheimer's Dementia: Clinical Essentials for Assessment and Treatment of Cognitive-Communication Disorders is a must have for clinicians and students working with the ever-expanding population of patients struggling with MCI and Alzheimer's disease.Trade Review"It is a practical resource and the layout allows for dipping in and out to reference information or provide information to others. - [MCI and Alzheimer's Dementia]helpfully relates intervention to assessment by discussing assessment results in sample cases and provided both long and short term goals based on the assessment results. The book provides an overview of available cognitive intervention programmes and their associated research, outcomes and recommended intensity and duration. It relates the direct interventions to neural plasticity principals and the direct and indirect intervention chapters provide plenty of practical environmental strategies for intervening with this population (e.g., linguistic modification, reminiscence therapy). The indirect interventions described may also be useful in supporting education of staff and carers in settings such as Nursing Homes (i.e. benefits of maintaining social engagement, supporting orientation and benefits of nurturing). - With the increasing prevalence of Dementia this book is a good go to summary guide to have available in the clinic." -- Aine Lawlor, Speech and Language Therapist, HSE Community Adult Service, Dublin South West. Irish Association of Speech & Language Therapists Update Magazine (Spring/Summer 2014)Table of ContentsIntroduction Definition and discussion of the dementia syndrome and its significance in terms of prevalence and cost. MCI Defined Explanation of MCI, its various forms, the recently revised diagnostic criteria established by the NIH and the Alzheimer's Association, information about rate of conversion to AD, and a review of early changes in language and cognition. Alzheimer's Dementia Defined Diagnostic criteria, neuropathology, risk factors, effects on cognition and communication by stage of disease, and samples of the language of affected individuals by stage of disease. Assessment of MCI and AD The process of assessment, reviews of commonly used tests and severity measures, recommendations on tests for screening and comprehensive assessment, and differential diagnosis. Rationale for intervention Evidence from cognitive science for the involvement of SLPs in identifying individuals with MCI and AD and treating them directly and indirectly through caregiver counseling to sustain, improve, and/or maximize functioning. Treatment of MCI Options SLPs have for helping clients sustain function, including cognitive wellness programs. Direct Treatment of AD Treatment guidelines and evidence-based techniques for facilitating learning and information retrieval. Indirect Treatment of AD Modifications that SLPs can recommend and oversee regarding the physical and linguistic environment that will enable affected individuals to function at their highest level of ability. Specific recommendations are included about how to communicate with affected individuals and how to improve their ability to comprehend and express language.

Book SynopsisParents of children with an autism spectrum disorder want to be proactive. This book, now in its second edition, offers a collection of practical, real-world information and insights to help parents do just that: plan for their child's needs. The book combines current research and literature reviews with the experiences gleaned by the author as she has worked with families impacted by ASD for the past twenty years. Most books on autism address school needs, but parents want to know how they can make their home lives most functional. This book provides that information, down to how to arrange rooms in the home for the most positive outcomes. This resource can also be used by professionals as they work with and support families with children on the autism spectrum. For the second edition, the author has updated the text and added content to make the book even more valuable to parents.New features include: A new chapter on children with the Asperger syndrome label A new chapter on young adulthood and transition issues More hands-on activities that will allow parents to help their children develop communication skills With its new and updated content, Parenting on the Autism Spectrum: A Survival Guide, Second Edition is a parent-friendly book that will assist parents in their efforts to help their children reach their full potential.Trade ReviewEwan Culling, Clinical Psychologist, International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, (2014): "Parenting on the Autism Spectrum provides a comprehensive, but easy-to-read overview of therapeutic approaches and support strategies recommended for the parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The book includes practical strategies for use within home and school settings, as well as chapters dedicated to facilitating communication and social interaction... Each chapter in Parenting on the Autism Spectrum includes a "What I believe" section that gives the author an opportunity to highlight her professional opinion on each issue or modality, based on her clinical experience. In this manner the book strikes an effective mixture between objective description of available techniques and subjective opinion of efficacy based on the author's real world experience. In my opinion, one of the most impressive achievements of this book is that it manages to provide comprehensive overviews of therapeutic models, approaches and research bases, but does so in a manner that it is clear and written in lay terminology for the audience intended. It becomes clear early on in the book that the author's intention is to inform parents and care-givers so that they can become 'critical consumers' of the various treatments/supports available and make informed choices for their children. This is a laudable aim, particularly given the modern ethos of collaboration and joint decision making between individuals, families and the education/health/social care services in agreeing support plans and packages for children with additional needs. It is my opinion that the author's aims are fully realised and I would have no hesitation in recommending this book to parents and care-givers of children/teenagers with ASD. I believe this book would also have utility as a core induction resource material for professionals who work with children with ASD."Table of ContentsContents Preface Acknowledgments Dedication Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisChoral Pedagogy, Third Edition, is the ideal text for voice teachers, choral conductors, church musicians, and professional and amateur singers who wish to develop strategies for lifelong singing. It concisely and clearly presents the principles of voice pedagogy from the perspective of both conducting and voice science in a user-friendly fashion, including helpful charts and simple anatomic diagrams. In addition, it offers teaching methods from history and philosophy, medical and voice science, and pedagogical concepts from active musical experts. Special attention is given to the needs of amateur singers and conductors. Topics covered include choral diction, posture and seating, rehearsal practices, and matters of vocal health. For the third edition, the authors have completely revised the text, updating the medical information and expanding the exercises. They have also added three new chapters: * A chapter entitled "Singing in the 21st Century" that considers the vocal/choral demands of the choral repertoire being written in this century. * A chapter on teaching young boys to sing written by Vic Oakes, the conductor of the Chattanooga Boys Choir.* A chapter entitled "The Value of Lifelong Singing." With its updates and additions, Choral Pedagogy, Third Edition, is a valuable resource for students of choral conducting, music education, church music, and choral singing.Trade ReviewDr. Gillyanne Kayes, Communicating Voice, The British Voice Association, (2014): "...Care has been taken to explain the principles of vocal function in user-friendly language via a series of questions as sub-headings; similarly for the chapter on medical care of voice disorders. A new and extensive chapter on hearing loss offers a clear and accessible exposition of the hearing system, and an informative section on different categories of hearing impairment. A chapter on seating problems is short and sweet but worth attention with its practical (and inexpensive) suggestions for eliciting a more forward sitting posture to avoid back pain and maximise breathing efficiency when seated for rehearsal. The chapter on choral pedagogy and vocal health gives sound advice and specifics on appropriate warm up and cool down exercises for choirs. It is also encouraging to see a chapter on the ageing voice, with suggestions for ways to adapt music, part singing and pitch range for older singers, to keep them active in the choral community. ...I was happy to see a clear directive to conductors of separating the tasks of rhythm and melody in music learning, this advice given in chapters on training for adults as well as children. ...I particularly liked the chapter on voice building for choirs, which gives a range of exercises for specific situations in response to questions used as sub-headings. There is also a chapter on rehearsal techniques, similarly structured, offering an excellent resource to choral conductors. Overall, the book is well-written, clearly structured and packed with information, definitely a useful resource. ..."Table of ContentsPreface About the Authors Contributors I.

Students progress from the basics to more difficult concepts in a graduated process. The text encourages thinking and problem solving rather than learning by rote memorization and clarifies obscure concepts in a writing style that promotes greater understanding and comprehension. Pedagogical elements include key terms listed for each chapter, bulleted chapter summaries, and review questions at the end of each chapter. For undergraduate hearing science students without hard science backgrounds, this text aims to decompress and facilitate the comprehension of difficult and often cumbersome concepts in order to master the basic concepts in hearing science.This textbook is also a useful supplemental or recommended reference for speech and hearing combined courses that require more coverage of hearing science than currently available in speech-oriented textbooks. "'Key features of "Basic Fundamentals in Hearing Science" include:"' * An extensive number of figures and illustrations for improved overall comprehension of the subject matter * Clear descriptions of the many and various forms of sound wave phenomenon, and of auditory anatomy and physiology--from the outer ear to the auditory cortex * An overview of scientific measurement scales and notation including the use of logarithms, exponential and scientific notation, and the metric system * An opening chapter that defines and elucidates the meaning, practice, and philosophy of science--with an emphasis on theory-driven research--including a practical guide for the writing of a scientific manuscript * Chapters devoted to the basic terminology used in hearing science and the application of those basic principles and terms, as well as a chapter that addresses basic nervous system terminology and describes the structure and function of the twelve pairs of cranial nerves * A chapter that deals exclusively with the structure and function of the auditory system ================================================================== "The text is written with meticulous and thorough attention to detail and accuracy.This is especially apparent with regard to the formulas and tables provided for the computations of the Bel, decibel, and RMS amplitude. An additional feature that adds to the attractiveness and flair of the book is the frequent reference to historic discoveries and to those who made them. Concepts presented in the text are beautifully complemented by illustrations, graphs, and equations. This is a book I wish I had had when I was a student, and I believe it will become a first choice textbook among undergraduate and graduate students. It will provide quick answers to questions, both simple and complex, and will provide ever-deepening insights into hearing science when knowledge of details is the goal." -- From the Foreword by James A. Kaltenbach, PhD, Director of Otology Research, The Cleveland ClinicTrade ReviewDrs. Tony Sahley and Frank Musiek, in their book Basic Fundamentals in Hearing Science, have put together an impressive ensemble of chapters that form the theoretical and practical foundation for hearing science that is the basis for many fields, including audiology. In a comprehensive manuscript covering 704 pages, the authors cover, not only the traditional hearing science, acoustic, and psychoacoustic concepts, but they also begin with a healthy overview of what science is and the scientific method, and they conclude with a terrific overview of the nervous system and anatomy and physiology of the auditory system. Key attributes of this book include chapters that begin with key terms that will be covered and end with a thorough, bulleted summary with follow-up questions for the learner. This book is well written and organized, and it contains some of the best figures I have seen recently to explain otherwise difficult topics. As would be expected in a hearing science book, there is math and there are math problems for students to solve, but the text and figures bring the math to life. The conceptual design of the figures appears to be well considered and beautifully illustrated, and together with the text, they should help to promote comprehension. Having seen many hearing science books over the years, Sahley and Musiek's book appears to offer a much needed fresh perspective to hearing science, and their approach and organization of the book should be useful to both undergraduate and graduate students for years to come. --Samuel R.

Book SynopsisThis book is a tool for the analysis of the United States' Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the development of interventions to meet student-specific needs. The Standards are an education initiative in the United States that detail what K-12 students should know in English language arts and mathematics at the end of each grade. The initiative seeks to establish consistent education standards across the states as well as ensure that graduating students are prepared to enter college programs or the workforce. As of 2014, forty-three states had adopted the Standards.With the implementation of the Common Core State Standards, it is critical that speech-language pathologists collaborate with educators to enable the success of students with communication disorders and English Language learners who have difficulty experiencing success in the general education. The text provides a practical approach for the analysis of the Standards with a parallel analysis of children's strengths and needs, creating a template for intervention.It covers strategies for facilitating the success of students in accessing and achieving the expectations of the general curriculum, with a focus on students with communication disorders, hearing loss, vision loss, deaf-blindness, specific learning disabilities, autism, multiple disabilities, and English language learners. For any speech-language pathologist working with children, as well as their education and administration partners, this book provides strategies for the practical application of the Common Core to support the success of various populations of children in the schools.Table of ContentsForeword by Jean Blosser, CCC-SLP, EdD, ASHA Fellow.

Book SynopsisMATLAB(R) Primer for Speech Language Pathology and Audiology provides training and access to MATLAB(R), the computational language developed by MathWorks. While there are MATLAB(R) textbooks and manuals written for the field of engineering, there are no textbooks targeting allied heath disciplines and speech-language pathology and audiology in particular. Research and practice in this field can greatly benefit from quantification and automation in data management, a domain that is increasingly labor intensive. The text anticipates and promotes increased reliance on quantification and automation in the field of speech-language pathology and audiology.This book is intended for students, practitioners and researchers in speech-language pathology and audiology who wish to increase their productivity by incorporating and automating common research procedures and data-analysis calculations, or to develop new tools and methods for their own paradigms and data processing. It assumes no prior knowledge of programming, but requires the reader have a grasp of basic computer skills such as managing folders, moving files, and navigating file paths and folder structures.Content and style are chosen so as to lower the threshold to an audience that as of yet has limited training in computer science. Concepts are presented in a personalized writing style (almost a dialogue with the reader), along with a didactic format that comes close to programmed instruction, using applications and work assignments that are concrete and manageable.Key Features:*Provides a comprehensive introduction to the user in an effort to limit background needed to follow the content*Includes several mathematical review appendices*Exercises for the student to apply skills learned in laboratory and clinical applications*Supplies many examples of MATLAB code and makes use of several datasetsTable of ContentsForeword by Brad H.

Book SynopsisNeurolinguistic Approach to Reading: A Guide for Speech-Language Pathologists Treating Dyslexia aids speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in assessing and treating dyslexia through an approach proven effective by national standardized tests, subjective evaluation, parents, teachers, as well as those in the field. The author developed the Neurolinguistic Approach to Reading (NAR) based on more than 25 years of experience working with individuals with dyslexia. This inclusive approach is based on the complete communication process, oral and written. The text also includes the Cornell note-taking system and can be used as an effective clinical manual or a university reference. This text comes at a crucial time as the scope of practice for speech-language pathology has greatly expanded with the increased recognition of the direct relationship between oral language and a child's ability to read and spell. Additionally, the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association has defined the SLP's role in the remediation of literacy disabilities such as dyslexia.Through this effective text and utilizing NAR as a treatment framework, SLPs in all work environments can be more involved in working with individuals with dyslexia.Table of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisPsycholinguistics: Introduction and Applications, Second Edition is the first textbook in psycholinguistics created for working language professionals and students in speech-language pathology and language education, as well as for students in psychology and linguistics. It provides a clear, lively introduction to research and ideas about how human brains process language in speaking, understanding, and reading. Within a unifying framework of the constant interplay of bottom-up (sensory) and top-down (knowledge-based) processing across all language uses and modalities, it is an integrated, self-contained, fully updated account of psycholinguistics and its clinical and pedagogical applications. In this second edition, author Lise Menn is joined by leading brain researcher and aphasiologist, Nina Dronkers. The significantly revised brain chapter contains current findings on brain structure and function, including the roles of newly-delineated fiber tracts and language areas outside Broca's and Wernicke's areas.Five core chapters (language description, brain structure and function, early and later stages of speech production, experimental psycholinguistics) form the foundation for chapters presenting classical and recent research on aphasia, first language development, reading, and second language learning. A final chapter demonstrates how linguistics and psycholinguistics can and should inform classroom and clinical practice in test design and error analysis, while also explaining the care that must be taken in translating theoretically based ideas into such real-world applications. Concepts from linguistics, neurology, and experimental psychology are kept vivid by illustrations of their uses in the real world, the clinic, and language teaching. Technical terms are clearly explained in context and also in a large reference glossary. The text is now accompanied by a web-based Student Workbook. The Instructor's Manual, also new, is flexibly organized for instructors and students of varying backgrounds.Key Features:*Written in clear, vivid, straightforward style by experienced professors with varying student needs and instructor backgrounds in mind.*Explicit, attractive presentation of clinical and pedagogical applications.* Covers a range of phenomena from normal, partially-learned, and impaired language, such as phonological dialect variation, semantic category priming and garden-path sentences; alteration of the brain by language experience, overgeneralization, and failure to generalize; aphasia, oral apraxia, perseveration.*Complete glossary of technical terms that are also clearly explained throughout the text.*Companion website has sound files, help with learning the International Phonetic Alphabet and anatomical terms, color versions of text figures, and a compact version of the experimental psycholinguistics section for students with backgrounds in psychology.*NEW! Companion website includes wide range of supplemental research information about language, psycholinguistics, and neurolinguistics.*NEW!

Book Synopsis"Augmentative and Alternative Communication: Engagement and Participation" re-examines the basic components of human communication based on the development of meaning between two people, and provides a new theoretical framework for integrating the use of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) strategies into interpersonal interactions. As such, it is an indispensible resource for speech-language pathologists, special education practitioners, and researchers in AAC, as well as for instructors and graduate students in the fields of speech and hearing sciences and special education.The book employs a creative synthesis between engagement (personal involvement) and participation (exchanges between people) to describe meaning-making between communication partners to develop social closeness between people. This process allows for the acknowledgement of different levels of shared meaning and outlines a novel approach to assessment and intervention. The book also describes the importance of integrating relational (interaction-oriented) as well as instrumental (goal-oriented) communication functions as essential in maintaining on-going relationships.Most resources in AAC tend to emphasize strategies for enhancing participation, rather than strategies associated with the development of engagement ("being with") to enhance communication between communication partners. In contrast, this text uses interactions between AAC users and their communication partners as a basis to explore the creative synthesis between engagement and participation to provide clinical guidelines for assessment and intervention both in interpersonal and classroom contexts.Key features include: a novel theoretical approach focused on engagement and participation as core components in AAC intervention; emphasis on empathic listening skills of both communication partner and user of AAC strategies to facilitate engagement (emotional resonance) between them; guidance for teachers on the benefits of a meaning-based approach to communication in the classroom; application of empathic listening strategies to people with dementia to address an increasing need for care of Alzheimer's' patients by caregivers and family members; integration of social media and face-to-face interactions as central to developing relationships in AAC interactions.

Book SynopsisBehavioral Principles in Communicative Disorders: Applications to Assessment and Treatment covers basic principles of the science of behaviorism and applies those principles to the assessment and treatment of communicative disorders. It begins with the history and basic principles of behaviorism, as well as a chapter examining Skinner's (1957) concept of verbal behavior and functional units of verbal behavior. The text then discusses functional behavior assessment, the formulation of operationally defined target behaviors, discrete trial treatment procedures, and various techniques for increasing desirable behaviors and decreasing undesirable behaviors. The concluding chapters describe single-case research designs that support the efficacy of behavioral principles, and address ethical questions and historic controversies surrounding the application of those principles.Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) seek to change communicative behaviors in the clients they serve; the principles of behavioral science have many applications to the assessment and treatment of communicative disorders.There is a vast body of evidence indicating the efficacy of behavioral approaches in behavior modification, and SLPs have been charged by their professional association to employ evidence-based practices. Also, there is an appreciation for the usefulness of behavioral principles in treating clients with very severe communicative disorders, such as autism, apraxia, and dysfluency. This is evidenced by the development of the field of applied behavior analysis and the growing numbers of board certified behavior analysts (BCBA), with whom SLPs may be called upon to collaborate.Behavioral Principles in Communicative Disorders is primarily designed for practicing speech-language pathologists looking for detailed descriptions of evidence-based treatment procedures, as well as professors and students in university programs in communicative disorders. However, professionals in other fields, such as applied behavior analysis and special education, will also find this to be a highly useful text.Table of ContentsPreface. Contributors. Chapter 1.

Book SynopsisCognitive Rehabilitation Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury: A Guide for Speech-Language Pathologists is designed for speech-language pathologists (SLPs) treating adults with cognitive-communicative impairments following traumatic brain injury (TBI). TBI has received recent attention, due to an increase in the number of individuals with TBI, but also given concerns over long-term complications associated with TBI, such as concussion in sports. Cognitive impairments are one of the cardinal features of TBI, affecting communication and activities of daily living. Increasingly, SLPs are required to provide services to individuals with TBI. This book integrates scientific information into a user friendly and practical application tool as a starting point for practicing SLPs.Section I contains chapters that serve as background for understanding the treatment of individuals with TBI. Included are chapters addressing the nature of injury and recovery of TBI, and chapters on broader topics such as medical management and service delivery principles. An overview of cognitive-communicative impairments is also included, as are sections devoted to compounding conditions such as speech, language, voice, swallowing, hearing/balance, and emotional/behavioral issues. Section II contains chapters devoted to the treatment of TBI and cognitive-communicative impairments. Each chapter focuses on a treatment approach shown to have an established base of evidence to support its effective use. Chapters in Section II are formatted similarly, with an introduction to a treatment approach, followed by details and clinically useable information, such as recommended candidates, treatment procedures, ways to individualize the approach, and data collection techniques. Each chapter ends with a case study providing an example of treatment implementation. The associated PluralPlus companion website contains modifiable forms and materials for use in implementing the approaches (e.g., data collection sheets, stimuli lists, etc.), as well as video clips of treatment sessions using the approaches described in the book. The video clips are tied to actual case studies at the end of each treatment chapter.Cognitive Rehabilitation Therapy for Traumatic Brain Injury can serve as a supplemental textbook for graduate courses on neurologic communication disorders. It is also a valuable resource for students during clinical practicum with individuals with TBI (e.g., hospital internships or clinical hours). This book is also a professional resource that summarizes information in a way that is applicable to clinical practice for practicing SLPs. The presence of useable materials on the website, case studies with video clips, and sections with information like candidacy, data collection, and approach modification, all lend themselves to the use of this book as a professional resource.

Book SynopsisPediatric Dysphagia: A Multidisciplinary Approach is a comprehensive professional reference on the topic of pediatric feeding and swallowing disorders. Given that these disorders derive from abnormalities in the function and/or structure of the airway and digestive systems, multiple clinical specialists may be involved in the evaluation and management of affected children at any given point in time. This text therefore includes significant contributions from a wide range of experts in pediatric dysphagia, including all members of the Interdisciplinary Feeding Team at Cincinnati Children’s Medical Center. These experts present an in-depth description of their roles in the diagnosis and management of dysphagic children, providing the reader with an understanding of why a multidisciplinary model of care is key to the optimization of outcomes. Pediatric Dysphagia is divided into five parts. In Part I, readers are provided with an overview of the embryologic development of aerodigestive structures that relate to swallowing, an introduction to neural organization related to swallowing function and physiologic aspects of swallowing, a synopsis of oral motor development, a discussion of the various etiologic categories of feeding and swallowing disorders, and an overview of genetic disorders associated with feeding and swallowing issues. Part II covers the clinical and instrumental assessment of patients, including the interdisciplinary feeding team infrastructure and function, the roles of individual members of the feeding team, the specific diagnostic tests commonly used in the assessment of feeding and swallowing issues, the classification of neonatal intensive care units, and the assessment and management of feeding and swallowing issues encountered in the neonatal intensive care unit. Part III focuses on the management of pediatric dysphagia, covering a wide range of treatment strategies and interventions for children with various categories of feeding disorders. Part IV includes an introduction to the concept of evidence-based practice and the application of evidence-based strategies in the management of dysphagia. Part V presents a brief overview of the role of ethics in healthcare and ethical considerations in the treatment of dysphagic children. In summary, the overall aim of this comprehensive text is to provide all pediatric professionals involved in the care of dysphagic patients with a basic understanding of the complexity of this disorder, the anatomic, neurologic, and physiologic components involved in this disorder, an overview of the diverse population of children who suffer with this disorder, and with a wide range of management approaches based on patient needs and capabilities. The authors also address clinical problem solving and decision making, inspiring readers to develop multidisciplinary models of care at their own institutions.Table of ContentsForeword by Robin T.
