PDF-(BOOK)-Stuttering: Foundations and Clinical Applications, Third Edition

Stuttering Foundations and Clinical Applications Third Edition presents a comprehensive overview of the science and treatment of stuttering in a single text The book offers a unique level of coverage of the stuttering population the disorders features and the therapies offered for different ages Written for both undergraduate and graduate level audiences the authors guide students to critically appraise different viewpoints about the nature of stuttering understand the disorders complexities and learn about the major clinical approaches and therapies appropriate for different age groups. 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. Stuttering: Foundations and Clinical Applications, 2/e has been considered the most comprehensive, complete presentation of the science and treatment of stuttering available in a single text--how stuttering is explained, and how stuttering is treated. The text is unique in its coverage of the stuttering population, its in-depth look at stuttering therapy at various ages, and its original approach that invites students to offer critical appraisals of differing theoretical viewpoints. The new Second Edition has been revamped editorially to ensure ease of readability. It highlights sections with the latest scientific knowledge of stuttering regarding incidence and prevalence, onset natural recovery, and genetics includes completely revised sections on brain anatomy and physiology, motor aspects, and cluttering and updates the material with new case studies, tables and figures, and a new outline format for treatment procedures.

This edition remains loyal to the idea that stuttering and cluttering can best be understood by first considering various overarching frameworks which can then be expanded upon, and provides a clear position from which to disentangle the often complex interrelationships of these frameworks.The book is divided into two parts, the first of which mainly deals with theory and aetiology, while the second focuses on clinical aspects of assessment, diagnosis and treatment. The book also provides frequent references across Parts I and II to help link the various areas of investigation together.This revised edition of Stuttering and Cluttering reflects the major changes in thinking regarding both theory and therapy that have taken place since the publication of the first edition. As well as those who stutter and clutter, the book will be invaluable for speech language therapy/speech language pathology students, practicing clinicians, psychologists and linguists around the world. This book provides an accessible overview of language development covering the typical course of language development within the clinical context of language assessment and intervention. The Second Edition examines the biological, developmental, and environmental systems of neurotypical children, and the role of these systems as linguistic input in the child\'s environment contributing to language development. This comprehensive resource, written and contributed by over 20 experts in the field, provides students with an understanding of the foundations of language development in terms of each individual child\'s communication needs. With case studies woven throughout the text, students are able to follow the progress of children with normal language development as well as those showing signs of problems. These cases and clinical practice applications will help students prepare for the clinical challenges they will face in their professional careers. Every year, new information, new theories, and new evidence are published about development to explain the complexities that create and facilitate the language acquisition process. The authors who have contributed to this text provide the latest research and perspectives on language development among neurotypical children. This valuable text bridges biological, environmental, technological, and professional venues to advance the development of professionals and children alike.

Language Development: Foundations, Processes, and Clinical Applications coalesces the necessary knowledge of language development with evidence and clinical practice. Contributed by experts in the field, the Third Edition provides the student with specific clinical applications using skill-based information related to assessment and intervention. Featuring a chapter dedicated solely to the comprehension of language, this edition also covers language development from unique perspectives, such as multicultural/lingual home, international adoption, the child with cochlear implants and other sensory devices, and the child with multiple disabilities. With Case Studies and new Clinical Application exercises woven throughout the text, students are able to follow the progress of children with normal language development as well as those showing atypical development. KEY UPDATES TO THE THIRD EDITION New chapter on the Neurology of Language The new edition of this comprehensive text presents a complete guide to hematology, beginning with normal hematopoiesis and covering diseases of erythroid, myeloid, lymphoid and megakaryocytic origin. It also addresses complementary testing areas such as flow cytometry, cytogenetics and molecular diagnostics. An excellent chapter on automated cell counting compares and contrasts major instruments. It features case studies relevant to the topic in each chapter, follow-up questions at the end, useful chapter summaries, and much more. All-new information on molecular diagnostics and a completely revised section on hemostasis and thrombosis by George Fritsma bring the text up-to-date with current content. Inside, readers will find all the essential content needed in a superb, quick-reference laboratory resource, as well as the pedagogy and accessible reading level that make it an ideal teaching textbook!Instructor resources are available to qualified adopters contact your sales representative for more information.The well-known, well-respected author brings her expertise and authoritative approach to this edition\'s extensive updates and additions.A full-color design makes the text more reader-friendly, highlights special features, and reinforces important details.The same diagram used to illustrate general hematoipoietic theory is broken down into component parts in the sections on erythropoiesis, granulopoiesis, lymphopoiesis, etc. Electron micrographs help students visualize the continuum of cell maturation at the DNA level.A practical focus shows students how to apply pure science to their work in the laboratory setting, citing examples of clinical implications for theoretical information. Thorough, comprehensive coverage with a balanced and accessible writing style makes the book ideal for use in any programme.New line drawings, as well as beautiful full-color photomicrographs from the award-winning Carr/Rodak: Clinical Hematology Atlas enhance the text and clarify important concepts.Case studies at the beginning of each chapter, often featuring follow-up questions at the end, draw readers into the subject and make passive study more interactive and engaging.Chapter-at-a-Glance summary lists at the end of each chapter recaps key ideas in a bulleted, student-friendly format.

Not too complicated - but very thorough.--Amazon ReviewerSimply the best. This is such a valuable resource. Bought it for the DPT program I am enrolled in. I will keep it as an excellent resource. So well written.--Amazon Reviewer... this is a great book.It explains concepts so well! Our professor changed to this book the next year. All the OTs and PTs in my PhD program have bought this book. This is in my keep forever collection. Everyone in my department has the book and only loans it out with strict instructions for its return.--Kelly A., Amazon Reviewer This book provides an accessible overview of language development covering the typical course of language development within the clinical context of language assessment and intervention.
