ABOUT THE BOOK
A new book which, essentially, arose from the author’s inability as an instructor to find a textbook that fully met her needs or the needs of her students! Overly comprehensive texts generate blank faces and overly concise texts fail to fully meet the need for an effective depth of learning.
This new text achieves a great balance between the depth of coverage and readability, but balance is not the only reason this book is needed. Reflecting the movement toward evidence based practice in audiology and speech-language pathology, the author has ensured that the concepts associated with evidence based practice are integrated throughout the various chapters (not just added as a separate chapter or course segment). Also included are features that help students in being more active in learning the material. Each chapter has a set of review questions or case scenarios that can be used as homework, as probe questions in class, or as group activities. Importantly, the author has included lists of supplemental readings from the research literature in the field.
