Introduction to Communication Disorders: A Lifespan Evidence-Based Perspective
presents recent advances in the assessment and treatment of communication disorders in a highly readable manner. Each chapter is concise, yet comprehensive-striking a just right balance of information appropriate for introductory-level students. Readers gain a basic foundation in the areas of anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, and an overview of the various disorders that affect voice, fluency, articulation, language, cognition, swallowing, and hearing across the lifespan. Updated case studies, evidence-based practice summary boxes, and new medically based photographs help students bridge the gap between theory and clinical application.Also available with the Enhanced Pearson eText The Enhanced Pearson eText provides a rich, interactive learning environment designed to improve student mastery of content with embedded videos, audio samples, interactive application exercises, and self-check quizzes.Note: You are purchasing a standalone product the Enhanced Pearson eText does not come packaged with this content.

The chapter on research ethics was expanded to include broader coverage of responsible conduct of research and the impact of HIPAA. Additional information, reflecting current practices in evidence based practice, has been added to the chapters on research questions, research design, statistics, and reporting research. Two cases studies, designed to promote discussion, are included in the chapters on research ethics and quantitative research design. Tables illustrating example studies from communication sciences and disorders journals have been added to the chapters on nonexperimental and experimental design, and the coverage of qualitative research designs has been expanded. Chapter 10 now includes a section on preparing a review of literature. This introductory text on communicative disorders offers students a comprehensive look at language and speech issues that is engaging, easy to understand, and filled with student learning aids. KEY TOPICS: This text, appropriate for both majors and non-majors, covers the basics of communication science, normal language and speech development, and the full spectrum of communication disorders. MARKET: Written for students taking introductory courses in communication sciences and disorders. Understanding Research and Evidence-Based Practice in Communication Disorders is an engaging, student-friendly text that explores the connection between common communication science research methods and clinical practice. Covering both the conceptual and the quantitative aspects of research methods, evidence-based practice, experimental design, and statistics, this book both elucidates various models of research and practice and explains how these models are important to the greater field of communication science. While some students and practitioners find many books on research, evidence-based practice, and statistical concepts to be intimidating, abstract, and dry, Understanding Research and Evidence-Based Practice in Communication Disorders strives to emphasize not only the ideas surrounding evidence-based practice but also how its principles can be applied in clinical practice. The text also includes a number of helpful study aides such as learning objectives, learning activities, and a glossary, all of which help shed considerable light on these challenging and sometimes daunting subjects. A Research Primer for Communication Sciences and Disorders addresses the most current topics in research, presents them clearly for students and practitioners, focuses on getting research evidence into practice, directs students and instructors to additional resources, and provides many case examples and study questions. The book is ideal for face-to-face classroom teaching or distance-learning courses. FEATURES: Each chapter begins with a word definition that introduces each chapter\'s key theme, and is referred to throughout the chapter in notes and boxes which highlight technology and other areas of interest. Case studies which illustrate relevant concepts and approaches to research open each chapter. Student Reflection Questions, Activities and Exercises designed to encourage critical thinking and independent research appear in each chapter. Includes an entire chapter devoted to introducing evidence-based practice issues, and continues to consistently enforce an evidence-based practice approach to research and practice. Designed for either classroom or distance learning, and including both basic and advanced content, this book is easily used independently by distance learners or in the classroom at the undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral level. This carefully organized, engaging, comprehensive, and contemporary guide to analyzing research articles has become a classic in the field. With its primary focus on reading, understanding, and evaluating professional literature, and its emphasis on the different research designs and types of publications that can inform all components of evidence-based practice, Evaluating Research in Communication Disorders, 7/e gives readers a logical, highly useful organization that reduces redundancy and improves efficiency focused study questions that help develop critical evaluation skills and guide student projects that involve the evaluation of research literature and up-to-date references, current research, and new topics keep readers aware of the most contemporary findings in the field. Writing Scientific Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders is a comprehensive guide to the preparation and publication of research papers for researchers in communication sciences and disorders. Individual chapters address the structure, content and style of the Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion sections. The balance of the text is taken up with the writing process, including the nuts and bolts of preparing tables and graphs, detailed discussion of different voices and grammar issues, how to edit your own work, how to work with editors and peer reviewers, and how to get started and be a productive writer. Each topic is illustrated with informative examples, with a clear, direct, and often humorous discussion of what makes them good or bad. Writing is essential in nearly every profession and particularly in communication disorders and sciences, where researchers must be able to express complex ideas to a variety of audiences, from colleagues to members of health care teams to clients and family members. This is why competence in written expression is required for certification and entry into clinical practice in communication disorders and sciences. Writing Scientific Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders will be a valuable supplementary text for undergraduate and graduate students in courses that include writing assignments and critical assessment of research literature, such as research methods and evidence-based clinical methods courses, as well as in thesis and dissertation preparation. Researchers looking for a guide to help them improve their own writing will find it an invaluable resource to answer the big and little questions that constantly arise in preparing manuscripts.
