This book provides a synthesis of work on communication disorders of child and adult users of signed languages. The chapters investigate linguistic impairments caused by deficits in visual processing and motor movements, as well as neurological decline. The volume also contains in-depth descriptions of child language acquisition in the signed modality and suggestions about how signed languages might guard against communication disorder.

Based on standards mandated by ASHA, the second edition of this popular text is the thorough introduction to clinical practice that every SLP needs. A mix of working clinicians and academics combine research and practice to give readers a comprehensive guide to the entire clinical experience—one they’ll use both inside and outside the classroom. Completely revised throughout, this new edition covers a broad range of disorders and developmental levels and includes the latest onimplementing clinical approaches in a variety of settingsconducting the most effective assessment using the best instruments availableplanning and implementing interventionscollecting communication samplesapplying principles of counseling to communicative disorders practicewriting skillful clinical reports, referral letters, IEPs, and IFSPsincluding families in all aspects of assessment and interventionIdeal for students in upper-level courses or in-service professionals seeking a reliable reference, this essential volume will prepare SLPs to provide the best possible services for people with communication disorders.Appropriate CoursesClinical Methods in Communication DisordersSpeech / Language InterventionSpeech Pathology Assessment / DiagnosisLanguage and Communication Disorders Cognitive Communication Disorders, now in its second edition, is the definitive core text for graduate courses that address cognitively based communicative disorders. This text provides up-to-date knowledge on the normal cognitive processes that support communication, cognitive linguistic communication disorders, clinical management, as well as the impact that deficits in these cognitive domains may have on language and communication?including right hemisphere disorders, Alzheimer disease and related disorders, and traumatic brain injury. Furthermore, through contributions from a renowned group of contributors, this text provides a comprehensive review of theoretical and applied research on the cognitive processes of attention, memory, and executive function. For this second edition, the content has been extensively revised and updated to reflect the burgeoning research in this area of study. Specific updates include: A new chapter on mild brain injury Expansion of the dementia chapter to include content on clinical intervention and working with families Updates to evidence-based practices for patients suffering from traumatic brain injury With its updates and additions, Cognitive Communication Disorders, Second Edition is sure to be the top choice for those studying cognitively based communication disorders. This new graduate level textbook, Cognition and Acquired Language Disorders: An Information Processing Approach, addresses the cognitive aspects of language and communication. It assembles the most recent information on this topic, addressing normal cognitive processing for language in adults, the cognitive impairments underlying language disorders arising from a variety of neurologic conditions, and current assessment and treatment strategies for the management of these disorders. The text is organized using an information processing approach to acquired language disorders, and thus can be set apart from texts that rely upon a more traditional, syndrome-based approach (e.g., stroke, dementia, and traumatic brain injury). This approach facilitates the description and treatment of acquired language disorders across many neurologic groups when particular cognitive deficits are identified. Other useful features of the text include assessment and treatment protocols that are based on current evidence. These protocols provide students and clinicians a ready clinical resource for managing language disorders due to deficits in attention, memory, linguistic operations, and executive functions.Unique process-oriented approach organizes content by cognitive processes instead of by syndromes so you can apply the information and treatment approaches to any one of many neurologic groups with the same cognitive deficit.Cognitive domains are described as they relate to communication rather than separated as they are in many other publications where they are treated as independent behaviors.A separate section on normal processing includes five chapters providing a strong foundation for understanding the factors that contribute to disordered communication and its management.The evidence-based approach promotes best practices for the most effective management of patients with cognitive-communication disorders.Coverage of the cognitive aspects of communication helps you meet the standards for certification in speech-language pathology.A strong author team includes two lead authors who are well known and highly respected in the academic community, along with expert contributors, ensuring a comprehensive, advanced clinical text/reference. 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. Multilingual Aspects of Speech Sound Disorders in Children explores both multilingual and multicultural aspects of children with speech sound disorders. The 30 chapters have been written by 44 authors from 16 different countries about 112 languages and dialects. The book is designed to translate research into clinical practice. It is divided into three sections: (1) Foundations, (2) Multilingual speech acquisition, (3) Speech-language pathology practice. An introductory chapter discusses cross-linguistic and multilingual aspects of speech sound disorders in children. Subsequent chapters address speech sound acquisition, how the disorder manifests in different languages, cultural contexts, and speakers, and addresses diagnosis, assessment and intervention. The research chapters synthesize available research across a wide range of languages. A unique feature of this book are the chapters that translate research into clinical practice. These chapters provide real-life vignettes for specific geographical or linguistic contexts. This dictionary provides clear and concise explanations of terms used in the field of speech, therapy pathology and relevant terms in related fields including augmentative, alternative communication, hearing, linguistic, medicine, phonetics/phonology and psychology/psychiatry. Those working with people who have communication disorders and those who may be returning to this field will find the explanations easy to understand. Terms include assessments, therapy programmes and current theories in these fields.This edition has been thoroughly updated. It includes useful website addresses for manufacturers and suppliers of communication aids and publishers of assessments, and where to find useful information on the internet for various conditions. Written by some of the top researchers and clinicians in the field, Communication Disorders in Multicultural Populations, 4th Edition offers an in-depth look at the major cultural groups in the U.S. and the issues concerning their communication development, common disorders, and treatment options. This fourth edition features a wealth of updates and new features?- including the latest research and added coverage of communication issues in countries such as Australia, China, Canada, and Brazil?- to give speech-language pathology students and speech-language pathologists a balanced and global perspective on the most topical multicultural communication issues of today.
