Provides evidence-based treatment plans of action Saves clinicians time and money in planning treatment programs Written by one of the most prolific and best-selling authors in the field Includes free CD with pre-scripted, modifiable forms for treatment planning and record-keeping This book facilitates treatment planning and implementation for clinicians by providing evidence-based treatment protocols with detailed plans for teaching fluency skills to adults and children. As with his other recent books, the uniqueness of this collection lies in the author's approach, as each protocol gives the clinician a plan of action, in the form of scripted scenarios. Unlike step-by-step directions, which can leave room for ambiguity, these scripts specify the anticipated verbal and nonverbal actions the clinician and child are expected to exhibit. Protocols for all major fluency targets are included, each containing a specific plan of action with examples of target behaviors for each fluency skill for an adult or child.These protocols save treatment planning time by presenting the clinician with procedures that have been proven effective in clinical and experimental studies, eliminating the need for clinicians to research teaching exemplars.Each procedure is designed as a self-sufficient, separate entity, so that clinicians need not refer back and forth to teach a particular skill. An invaluable accompaniment to this book is the included CD, which is unique in that it allows maximum flexibility for the clinician. It contains most of the files a clinician will need to prepare for a fluency treatment session, including specific recording sheets for each target skill and behavior. Every document on the CD is both modifiable and printable, allowing the clinician to alter and reproduce any or all of these forms for use with specific clients. This book provides an unprecedented wealth of resources for clinicians who treat adult and child fluency disorders, including: Evidence-based protocols for treatment; Flexible and facilitative scripted scenarios; Time-saving, researched, and proven plans of action; CD with modifiable and reproducible forms to allow individualized treatment and documentation.

Articulation and phonological disorders are among the most common speech disorders that clinicians treat in various professional settings - especially in public school. Treatment of these disorders requires extensive preparation and careful selection of target words containing single consonant and consonantal clusters. This book covers 26 consonant sounds in both word-initial and word-final positions and 37 consonant clusters and provides five essential elements for teaching each sound: a protocol to establish baserates, a baserate recording sheet, a protocol to teach sound production, treatment recording sheet, a protocol to probe for and record generalized production of new and untrained articulatory targets in the absence of treatment. All forms presented in the book are provided in user-friendly Microsoft Word documents on an accompanying CD-ROM which clinicians are encouraged to modify and reproduce. These heavily researched protocols will save enormous treatment planning and preparation time as well considerable effort involved in generating word containing target sounds. Also included is a detailed glossary defining all treatment terms.

This second edition of a high-demand text offers a unique combination of scholarly information, invaluable resources, and time-saving protocols on assessment of communication disorders in children. Most resource books offer limited research and scholarly information, thus making them unsuitable as textbooks for academic courses on assessment and diagnosis. Similarly, most traditional textbooks do not include practical, easy-to-use, and time-saving resources and protocols that the practicing clinicians can readily use during assessment sessions. By combining the strengths of traditional textbooks and newer assessment resources and protocols, this one-of-a kind book offers a single, comprehensive source that is suitable as a textbook and useful as a practical clinical resource.While combining scholarly information needed for academic courses and practical tools for clinical assessment, this innovative book: Covers the full range of communication disorders in children, including nonverbal or minimally verbal children Includes an extensive discussion of issues in using standardized tests along with detailed information on psychometric principles Offers a detailed discussion of alternative assessment approaches that minimize the problems inherent to standardized tests Describes a new, comprehensive, and integrated assessment approach that derives its strengths from the traditional as well as several alternative approaches Provides an updated and thorough discussion of multicultural issues in assessing communication disorders in children Integrates multicultural assessment procedures into the assessment protocols offered for all communication disorders Contains two chapters for each disorder: one on resources that offers scholarly and research background on the disorder and one on resources that describe practical procedures and protocols that save preparation time and effort for the clinician and makes it possible to use as a textbook as well as a clinical resource book

The "Coursebook" offers practice exercises for the topics covered, tailored to the field of speech-language pathology. Most left-hand pages show specific examples of general, scientific, or professional writing and the corresponding right-hand pages allow the student to practice writing. Students who memorize the rules of grammar will not write well unless they practice. The "Coursebook" provides this practice alongside abundant examples of correct writing, based on the most recent edition of the "Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association".The "Coursebook" is ideal for dedicated courses on scientific and professional writing and can also be used in courses on assessment and diagnosis or research methods and introduction to graduate studies.Changes and additions to the fifth edition include: incorporates APA changes to reference citations and preparation of the reference list; electronic preparation of manuscripts, revision in light of copyeditor's comments, and response to copyeditor's queries are in line with current publishing industry standards; the topic of electronic submission of convention and conference proposals is updated; new reference examples of electronic sources of information; the professional writing section reflects current clinical terminology in the field of speech-language pathology.
