Communication Disorders: Foundations and Clinical Applications for Emerging Clinicians is presented in an innovative text format that combines foundational content knowledge with early clinical application skills. The purpose of each chapter is to provide a brief review of a relevant content area and then provide application-based questions related to the content area reviewed. References and resources are provided throughout each chapter for additional discussion. Content areas covered in this text include professional writing, clinical practice, speech and sound disorders, auditory skills, literacy skills, social communication, an introduction to augmentative and alternative communication, intervention for language skills across the lifespan, intervention for stuttering, behavior management, and an introduction to disability and transition services.
Dr. Glade and Dr. Frazier have a combined 40 years’ experience working with individuals with communication disorders and a combined 19 years teaching undergraduate and graduate students in communication disorders.
