Evaluating Research in Communicative Disorders

This book takes a unique approach to the study of research in the field: the authors have written a book for the consumer rather than the producer of research. This practical book offers an overview of the research process, common strategies and designs employed in communicative disorders research, and the organization and analysis of research data. The first part of the book introduces basic principles of research evaluation. The second part then analyzes specific examples taken from current research literature and organizes them according to the main sections of a research journal article: introduction, method, results, and conclusions. The third part of the book presents three complete research articles for evaluation by the reader. For professionals involved in researching communicative disorders.

Introduction to Communication Disorders: A Lifespan Perspective presents an informative overview of the fields of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology in an interesting and highly readable manner. This book provides a solid foundation for future study by providing many viewpoints for the introductory reader, offering personal stories of people with communication disorders, and examining the field from a lifespan perspective. In addition, the best models of good practice and approaches for assessment and intervention are discussed based on the authors' own clinical experience. Each chapter describes a specific disorder and related assessment and intervention methods. Each disorder is also illustrated by the personal story of an individual with that disorder. Reader interest and thought are stimulated by thought questions placed throughout each chapter and by margin notes that highlight important information. The suggested readings and Internet locations provided at the conclusion of each chapter provide additional avenues by which readers can gain further knowledge. Unlike any other text currently available, Introduction to Communication Disorders features an accompanying CD-ROM, a learning device and study tool, which presents many of the disorders you'll read about in sound and video format. In addition, self-study questions follow the outline of each chapter and highlight important information. For anyone interested in communication disorders.
