This is the first book in this field to examine computers and their impact on the study and practice of speech-language pathology and audiology. This book introduces readers to the multitude of ways that speech-language pathologists and audiologists have used computers to provide clinical services more efficiently and more cost-effectively. With this information, readers will better be able to adequately promote the welfare of the persons they serve professionally in the managed health care, cost-containment environment in which they practice. For professionals working in the fields of audiology, speech-language pathology and deaf education.

Speech-language pathologists and audiologists are increasingly being expected to incorporate technology, through computers and augmentative communication devices, into their clinical practice. To be able to do so competently, they need to understand -- at least intuitively -- how the instrumentation they are expected to use functions. Without such knowledge, they are less likely to use it in a safe, effective manner and to the benefit of their clients. This book not only helps "technophobic" practitioners feel comfortable utilizing instrumentation in a clinical setting, but is also an invaluable tool in helping them use it effectively enough to satisfy the requirement of the American Speech-Hearing Association (ASHA) Ethical Code. This book provides basic knowledge of the underlying principles of instrumentation, focusing on its use in clinical settings. The information on electronics helps readers understand the functioning of electronic circuits and devices and to feel comfortable using them clinically. It includes instructions on how to perform basic maintenance tasks on clinical instrumentation and how to troubleshoot malfunctions if they occur. It also explains how to connect components of clinical instruments to each other appropriately and to make and repair the cables used for connection. The author stresses the importance of safety throughout the book. Speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and professors.

Microcomputers in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology: A Primer

KEY  BENEFIT: Almost all of the 60,000+ speech-language pathologists and  audiologists in the United States now have to be able to document convincingly  the positive impact of intervention on their clients if they are to be  competitive for "third-party" funding. Most are not familiar with the research  methodologies needed to do it in a way that funding agencies are highly likely  to regard as being scientific, objective, competent and valid. This book  focuses on conducting and consuming clinical research. By not  assuming any prior knowledge of statistics, this book teaches how to interpret  and critically evaluate the data analyses and conclusions of studies in which  statistics are used. It also summarizes the legal and ethical aspects of  clinical research. Additionally, the widespread availability of software for  computing statistics by issuing a command or two has resulted in a shift in  emphasis from knowing how to compute statistics to knowing when to use the  various statistics and how to appropriately interpret them.  This book reflects  this change in emphasis.  Written as a professional book for  speech-language pathologists and audiologists, it will enable them to document  the impacts of intervention on their clients in ways that medical insurance  programs and public school administrators are likely to regard as being both  "scientific" and valid.

Research Design and Evaluation in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology: Asking and Answering Questions

Speech, Language and Hearing Disorders introduces students to the symptomatology and etiology of the various communicative disorders and to the general processes involved in evaluation and therapy This includes discussions of variables that influence the clinical relationship, question asking/ answering and hypothesis developing/testing strategies that underlie the evaluation process, goal-setting and the process involved in selecting intervention strategies, learning theory principles and cognitive strategies on which management approaches for communicative disorders are based, and why it is important for clinicians to routinely audit and document the impact of therapies on their clients.

Speech, Language, and Hearing Disorders

The author, who himself has stuttered since early childhood, brings more than 40 years of clinical expertise to this expanded and updated third edition. The book examines both contemporary and historical theories of the etiology of stuttering, cluttering, neurogenic acquired stuttering, and psychogenic acquired stuttering. Readers will find indispensable information on the symptomatology, etiology, development, evaluation, and management of these disorders, including new information on the prevention of stuttering as an impairment, a disability, a handicap, and an overlay. Because the abnormal behaviors exhibited by all children and adults who have a particular fluency disorder are not the same, this comprehensive volume also offers important information for evaluating/describing behaviors that define stuttering problems and for differentiating stuttering from normal disfluency and other fluency disorders. In addition, readers will learn how to establish therapy!  goals and develop intervention strategies for achieving them. Included among many outstanding features of this fine text are guidelines for meeting the requirement of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Knowledge and Skills Acquisition (KASA) initiative and a list of organizations and Internet resources to use in networking as well as in accessing any specific, clinically relevant information about fluency disorders and help in coping with them.

Stuttering and Other Fluency Disorders

Taking a realistic and clinical approach, the author provides an up-to-date, comprehensive review of the literature on all fluency disorders, not just stuttering. He clearly presents a base of knowledge regarding the symptomology, phenomenology, epidemiology, and development of the disorders, while acquainting readers with a wide variety of viewpoints on their etiology and management.
