Hegde's PocketGuide to Treatment in Speech-Language Pathology

Now in its fifth edition, Hegde’s PocketGuide to Treatment in Speech-Language Pathology is a renowned resource and a classic in communication sciences and disorders.

There is no other single book in speech-language pathology (SLP) that provides step-by-step descriptions of treatment procedures for every disorder of communication. This revised PocketGuide to Treatment blends the format of a dictionary with the contents of a textbook and clinical reference book. With this guide, both students and professional clinicians have, at their fingertips, not only an encyclopedic knowledge of the entire range of treatment concepts and approaches, but also specific treatment procedures that can be readily applied in treating any disorder of communication in any child or adult. In addition, the guide offers treatment selection criteria to promote evidence-based clinical practice, and points out the existing evidence for described treatment procedures. The guide also offers guidelines on treating all communication disorders in ethnoculturally diverse individuals.

SLPs with this handy guide on their desk will have both a quick reference and a detailed resource on general and specific treatment procedures, including brief, task-specific treatments for individuals of all ages. The information can be easily reviewed before clinical sessions or examinations, as the guide’s entries are arranged alphabetically.
