Assessment of Communication Disorders in Adults: Resources and Protocols, 2nd Edition (EPUB)

By Ph.D. Hegde, M. N., Ph.D. Freed, Don Assessment of Communication Disorders in Adults: Resources and Protocols, Second Edition offers a unique combination of scholarly information, invaluable resources, and time-saving protocols on assessment of communication disorders in adults.
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 with 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.
