Treatment Resource Manual for Speech-Language Pathology.

Click here for the new edition. 

The thoroughly revised Sixth Edition of the best-selling Treatment Resource Manual for Speech-Language Pathology remains an ideal textbook for clinical methods courses in speech-language pathology, as well as for students entering their clinical practicum or preparing for certification and licensure. It is also a beloved go-to resource for practicing clinicians who need a thorough guide to effective intervention approaches/strategies.

This detailed, evidence-based book includes complete coverage of common disorder characteristics, treatment approaches, information on reporting techniques, and patient profiles across a wide range of child and adult client populations. The text is divided into two sections. The first part is focused on preparing for effective intervention, and the second part, the bulk of the book, is devoted to therapy strategies for specific disorders. Each of these chapters features a brief description of the disorder, case examples, specific suggestions for the selection of therapy targets, and sample therapy activities. Each chapter concludes with a set of helpful hints on intervention and a selected list of available therapy materials and resources.

Review

"Named to Doody's Core Titles in the Health Sciences - Speech, Language & Hearing 2020 list."
—Doody's (May 2020)

"This is an excellent resource for clinicians in speech-language pathology, whether beginners or seasoned experts. It has a plethora of helpful forms and ideas for therapy. There are books that focus on clinical methods, but this is a one-of-a-kind resource manual that has no real competitor. I have used it for years in an undergraduate clinical methods class and the students have commented that it is easy to read and helpful. When they get into the clinic, I often see them using it to prepare for their therapy sessions. The authors have updated citations and references throughout to keep up with changes in the field. They also have added a new chapter on contemporary issues, which includes topics like telepractice and simulation technologies and new information in existing chapters (e.g., transgender voice therapy in the chapter on voice). These additions and updates justify a new edition. ...Clinicians in the field should consider this book a core title in their libraries, and training programs should have it on hand for their student clinicians to reference."
—Matthew H. Rouse, MS, SLPD, Biola University, in Doody's Book Reviews

“The sixth edition of the Treatment Resource Manual for Speech-Language Pathology is a practical summary of interventions available to Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs), referring to the evidence base to outline key interventions available as well as practical tips for implementation.
The first two chapters of this book cover the core skills needed for practising SLTs, including
target setting, therapy approaches, session design and report writing. Key factors of intervention
planning are discussed, including group size, session design, dosage and discharge criteria. In particular, the accessible summary of how to write targets is very helpful for student SLTs on placement and Newly Qualified Practitioners (NQPs)….
The main body of the textbook looks in detail at interventions for specific client groups, such as
speech sound disorders, language difficulties, Autism, dysfluency and voice disorders, which are all appropriate for SLTs working in paediatric settings. The chapters summarising speech sound disorders and dysfluency are particularly comprehensive, summarising a variety of different intervention types to support the development of a holistic therapy plan. The sample activities outlined are very appropriate for student SLTs and NQPs designing initial session plans, giving practical advice on how to deliver therapy.
A strength of this textbook is the use of case studies within each chapter, which gives an overview of a client and outlines the clinical decision making behind target setting and intervention delivery. Some case studies include multiple examples of what intervention can be delivered, giving confidence to student SLTs and NQPs when designing a therapy plan. The Appendices also provide helpful reference guides to support practitioners becoming familiar with terminology and developmental norms. Each chapter also contains “helpful hints”, summarising key advice that can be given to others as well as considerations to be made during therapy delivery. These sections can support student SLTs and NQPs in giving advice to other agents of change, such as teachers and parents, which can help to develop NQP competencies.
The final three chapters consider key ideas to ensure client-centred care, including family counselling and cultural competency. In particular, the chapter on cultural competency introduces important themes within inclusive practice, giving summaries of linguistic differences found within client groups and describing different types of multilingualism. This is a very important chapter that can help student SLTs and NQPs ensure they are making client-centred clinical decisions, and provides an initial reference point for further reading into an important competency.
… This textbook is recommended for student SLTs or NQPs that are being introduced to paediatric intervention, as it supports a variety of aspects of clinical decision making, from target setting to practical implementation of intervention sessions to advice that can be given to other agents of change…”
