A great new introductory text that will appeal to both instructor and student alike Modern and most up to date treatment serves today\'s SLP community Covers the core essentials of the subject concisely and to the point Structured to aid the instructor with sections easily assimilated into extant lectures Packed with full-color illustrations The single-authorship by Weismer who has taught the course for over a decade ensures a fluidity and uniformity of style that is missing from other texts. Furthermore, he has deliberately kept coverage of each element of the course concise and planned to convey the core of important information for each topic. The author\'s aim throughout has been to present the latest research in a manner that serves the needs of the instructor and keeps the interest of the student by getting straight to the point and avoiding unnecessary diversions and digressions. Features color illustrations and text boxes. Note: This is the bound book only and does not include access to the Enhanced Pearson eText. To order the Enhanced Pearson eText packaged with a bound book, use ISBN 0134675444. 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.

It requires Android OS 3.1-4, a 7 or 10 Communication Sciences and Disorders: From Science to Clinical Practice, Third Edition is an excellent introductory text for undergraduate students enrolled in their first course in communication sciences and disorders. Written by experts in the field, this text contains basic information about speech disorders that are related to impairments in articulation, voice, and fluency language disorders in children and adults and hearing disorders that cause conductive and sensorineural hearing losses. It includes basic information on the speech, language, and hearing sciences and practical information about assessment and intervention practices. Unlike some other introductory text books, this book also includes chapters on multicultural issues, deafness, dysarthria, and dysphagia. NEW TO THE THIRD EDITION - Updated content with new information on evidence-based practice - New online video segments that clearly demonstrate a variety of communication disorders at different ages and severities - New chapter on cleft lip and palate - New information on cochlear implants and listening - New information on spoken language approaches to audiologic habilitation - The two chapters on preschool and school-age language disorders are now combined into one chapter - The two chapters on auditory rehabilitation and deaf education are now combined into one chapter In-Text Features: Boxes featuring personal stories from the authors and guides to online video segments, learning objectives, and bolded key terms End-of-Chapter Features: Study Questions, Key Terms, References, and Suggested Readings Instructor Resources: Slides in PowerPoint format, Test Bank, and an Image Bank Speech Science integrates scientific material on the acoustics, anatomy, and physiology of speech production and perception with state-of-the-art instrumental techniques used in clinical practice. Each chapter presenting theoretical information is followed by a corresponding chapter on clinical application, demonstrating the connections between scientific theory and clinical management of communication disorders. To reinforce this link, case studies and questions in each clinical application chapter help students focus on how scientific principles are applied in clinical contexts. Call-out notes, summary points, and review questions help students consolidate material for improved retention. Schematic illustrations enhance the text and demonstrate anatomical and functional relationships between structures. With this student- and instructor-friendly text, students will find theoretical information meaningful, less intimidating, and more easily accessible. The Second Edition features two new chapters on neurology that present a comprehensive yet targeted discussion of neuroanatomy and neurophysiology relevant to speech production (Ch. 12) and examine current brain imaging techniques (Ch. 13). In each clinical application chapter, case studies and follow-up questions reinforce the link between science and clinical application. Pedagogical aides such as call-out notes in the margins have been included in all chapters to underscore important concepts. Plus, this edition comes packaged with a new DVD to accompany the text that provides visualizations of many important concepts, as well as self-test quizzes for students to evaluate their understanding of the material.
