Foundations of Communication Sciences and Disorders is an exciting, new full-color textbook introducing concepts in communication sciences and disorders. Written in accessible, engaging and caring language, it is rooted in the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's 'Big Nine' knowledge and skill areas. Units provide cohesive ?big picture? introductions and conclusions, while individual chapters focus on key information in smaller, more detailed packages. Going beyond expectations for an introductory text, it explores the emotional and social effects of disorders to help readers truly understand the profession. Visually stunning with colorful diagrams, figures, and photos, this text is designed for all types of readers, and encourages interest in the speech and hearing sciences professions. Loaded with special features to enrich the learning experience, this book is the total package.
Savannah Schroll Guz - Library Journal In this part textbook, part subject reference, Fogle ( Classical Aphasia Therapy Stimuli ) considers diverse physical and verbal communication disorders over the course of 12 units and 50 chapters, approaching the subject from neurological, physiological, and pathological perspectives. Each accessibly written unit devotes a full chapter to the emotional and social implications of faulty language delivery, interpretation, or inept body language. Highly recommended for speech pathology and developmental science collections.
