In Videofluorscopic Studies of Speech in Patients with Cleft Palate, Drs. M.L. Skolnick and E.R. Cohn present multiview videofluoroscopy as a technique for the radiological evaluation of speech defects in patients with cleft palate. Dr. Skolnick's invaluable contributions as both the originator and leading authority on the subject are discussed in a concise, clinical fashion. Topics examined include the anatomy and imaging of the velopharyngeal portal; the equipment and techniques of multiview videofluoroscopy; the interpretation of results and various patterns of velopharyngeal closure; Passavant's Ridge and patterns of velopharyngeal closure; normal and abnormal speech production; and the evaluation of test results. This book is the only source which concisely and completely describes the technique and its interpretations for those who need a description of the clinical procedure.

Tele-AAC: Augmentative and Alternative Communication Through Telepractice is the first comprehensive resource guide to Tele-AAC. Tele-AAC is the use of telepractice specifically for providing services to individuals using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). This text establishes Tele-AAC as a new service delivery model and promotes safe, efficacious, evidence-based, and ethical telepractice for patients who need AAC devices. The goal is to provide readers with fundamental information about policy and service delivery of AAC services via telepractice to enable clinical practice. The text details the specific technical components unique to Tele-AAC service delivery, and how the technology, personnel, and service delivery practices may vary across settings and populations. It offers didactic and case-based content for speech-language pathologists across all levels, from introductory to advanced. Chapters are included that clarify and define the term Tele-AAC, highlight the procedures used while providing assessment and intervention via Tele-AAC, identify ethical and cultural considerations while providing Tele-AAC, and demonstrate its application in a variety of settings.The content has been enriched by the input and knowledge offered by leaders from both telepractice and AAC disciplines, and offers readers the right combination of foundational information and principles to help form a base of understanding for practitioners engaging in Tele-AAC. The field of Tele-AAC is evolving and will transform as the technology changes and advances. This text provides a threshold of understanding from which the field and practitioners can grow.

The Communication Disorders Casebook: Learning by Example, Second Edition focuses on current issues and trends in speech-language pathology (SLP) clinical practice. New and advanced students as well as practitioners will benefit from this comprehensive collection of real-world examples provided by experienced clinicians and scholars. The cases follow an easy-to-understand structure that allows readers to accompany an SLP through the steps of evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of individuals with speech, language, swallowing, and hearing challenges and their families.The clinical studies employ a holistic, person-first approach that considers the beliefs, values, lived experiences, and social contexts of patients throughout the lifespan. With a deep commitment to case-based learning, Shelly S. Chabon, Ellen R. Cohn, and Dorian Lee-Wilkerson have curated a valuable compendium of thought-provoking studies that encourage readers to think like clinicians, with empathy, understanding, and knowledge.New to the Second EditionNew and updated cases to reflect current research and clinical practice Many new references in both the cases and online Instructor’s ManualPowerPoint lecture slides for instructorsKey FeaturesA focus on conceptual knowledge areasComprehensive case histories from leading expertsStep-by-step explanations of diagnoses, treatment options, and outcomesBasic and advanced learning objectivesComprehension and analysis questions to evaluate understanding of case studiesSuggested activities and readingsPluralPlus Online Ancillary MaterialsFor Instructors: PowerPoint Lecture Slides, Test Bank, Instructor’s Manual With Activities, Analysis Questions, and Case-Based Pedagogy

The second edition of Fundamentals of AAC: A Case-Based Approach to Enhancing Communication continues to be a course-friendly textbook designed to walk readers through the theoretical and clinical underpinnings of assessment, intervention, and consultation for individuals with complex communication needs across the lifespan. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) encompasses a variety of communication methods and is used by those with a wide range of speech and language impairments. With a consistent framework and descriptive case studies, as well as input from various stakeholders, readers can gain a comprehensive understanding of the needs of persons who use AAC and how to provide them with ethically and culturally considerate support.Unlike other texts on this topic, this book empowers readers to visualize AAC in action. Each chapter begins with fundamental concepts and principles, followed by a relevant case study that presents the concepts and principles “in action” that guide the reader through the use of clinical decision-making in AAC. Every case study is designed to underscore the cultural, linguistic, and social variability inherent to the fields of AAC and communication sciences, and how each individual influences the manifestation of the AAC system, treatment, and implementation plans.Intended to easily translate into a 6-, 8-, or 13-week semester course, this textbook is divided into eight distinct sections:Section I provides an overview of AAC, no-tech, mid-tech, and high-tech AAC systems, as well as mobile technology and advancing technology.Section II discusses language fundamentals.Section III reviews AAC assessment, intervention, and implementation for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged individuals, along with goal-writing and data collection.Section IV covers assessment, intervention, and implementation for young adults and adults needing AAC.Section V offers the reader detailed information and rich examples of the application of AAC for persons with developmental disabilities.Section VI provides the theoretical foundation and exemplar case studies of AAC for persons with acquired disabilities.Section VII details consultation and training for various stakeholders, as well as tele-AAC services.Section VIII presents a collection of essays from various stakeholders.New to the Second EditionA chapter dedicated to AAC and literacyUpdated information about neuro-affirming practice, technology advancements (like artificial intelligence and automation), and implementation of AAC outside of interventionNew photos and videosUpdated intervention resourcesReport-writing toolsEnhanced instructor resourcesKey FeaturesOverviews with key terms set the stage for each section36 case studies with questions and visuals to clearly depict each caseBoxes with practical tips and expert advicePluralPlus Online AncillariesFor instructors: Instructor's Manual, Sample Syllabus, PowerPoint Slides, Test Bank, Image Bank, Activities/Exercises, Links to Related Resources, Case Study Instructional ResourcesFor students: Videos, Select Color Photos, Links to Related Resources
