The subspecialty of Clinical Neurophysiology involves the assessment of function of the central and peripheral nervous system for the purpose of diagnosing and treatment of neurologic disorders Th This textbook provides a deep review of the knowledge base necessary for the competent assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of developmental phonological disorders. Throughout the book, normal and atypical phonological learning in natural and therapeutic contexts are presented as the emergent property of biological constraints and learning mechanisms in dynamic interaction with environmental inputs. The thirteen chapters cover seminal studies and leading-edge research, allowing the speech-language pathologist to design interventions that are adapted to the unique needs of each child while being consistent with the best research evidence. This textbook is intended for undergraduate or graduate speech- language pathology students but also provides a valuable update for practicing clinicians. It is accompanied by a CD-ROM instructor\'s kit that includes teaching slides and laboratory activities for each chapter. A Must-Have Resource for Clinicians, Instructors, and Students in Training! Written by internationally recognized experts, Cognitive Communication Disorders of MCI and Dementia, Third Edition provides professionals and students the most up-to-date research on the clinical assessment and management of individuals with dementia and those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the fastest growing clinical population. Dr. Kimberly McCullough, an expert on MCI and cognitive stimulation, joined Bayles and Tomoeda as co-author and this edition has an increased coverage of MCI, its characteristic features, the diagnostic criteria for its diagnosis, and treatment options. Students and practicing professionals will appreciate the authors\' overview of the relation of cognition to communicative function and the characterization of how both are affected in MCI and the common dementia-related diseases including Alzheimer\'s, Lewy Body, Vascular, Parkinson\'s, Huntington\'s, Frontotemporal and Down Syndrome. A summary of important points at the end of chapters highlights essential clinical information and guides student learning. An all-new Clinical Guide comprises the second half of the book providing an extensive discussion of the process of assessment and evidence-based treatments for individuals in all stages of dementia. Features of the New Clinical Practice Guide Assessment: The authors provide a step-by-step discussion of the assessment process, an overview of reputable tests, and how to differentiate cognitive-communication disorders associated with MCI and dementing diseases. Treatment: This section includes comprehensive and detailed instructions for implementing evidence-based interventions for individuals in all stages of dementia. Additional topics include: A person-centered model for successful intervention Cognitive stimulation programming for MCI Clinical techniques supported by the principles of neuroplasticity Indirect intervention Communication Sciences and Disorders: From Science to Clinical Practice, Fourth Edition is the ideal introductory text for undergraduate students enrolled in their first course in communication sciences and disorders. Written by experts in the field, this text contains fundamental information about speech disorders that are related to impairments in articulation, voice, and fluency, while providing the essential information on the speech, language, and hearing sciences combined with practical information about assessment and intervention practices. This new edition provides readers with a wide-angle view of communication disorders, covering the variety of topics that speech, language, and hearing scientists study, and the variety of individuals that Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists treat. Topics are methodically organized to match the flow of the introductory course, beginning with an overview of the professions, the nature of communication across the life span, and social-cultural issues that affect communication and communication disorders. Section Two examines the variety of speech disorders, including chapters focusing on speech sound disorders in children, voice disorders, cleft lip and palate, fluency disorders, motor speech disorders, augmentative communication, and dysphagia. Section Three covers language disorders in children and acquired neurogenic language disorders, while Section Four concludes with a discussion on hearing and hearing disorders.

Speech Science: An Integrated Approach to Theory and Clinical Practice, 4th Edition focuses on the relationship between the scientific study of speech production and perception and the application of the material to the effective evaluation and treatment of communication disorders. Theoretical material is presented first, followed by clinical application chapters highlighting specific disorders. The organization of chapters in the new edition now more closely follows the speech subsystems approach, beginning with basic acoustics, and moving on to the respiratory system, phonatory system, articulatory/resonatory system, auditory system, and nervous system. As in previous editions, the book concludes with information on classic and current models and theories of speech production and perception. New and revised full color illustrations and larger spectrograms supplement the concepts presented by clearly depicting scientific and anatomical material and ensuring understanding of the links between the underlying science and human communicative behavior.
