This third edition presents a concise, practical overview of the many manifestations of an extremely common but often under-diagnosed condition, which can have serious consequences if left untreated. It details the latest developments in the field, including improved safety measures and equipment designed to both diagnose and monitor patients. Also featured is coverage of the significant amount of research in drug treatment protocols in the last few years. Thoroughly updated, and expanded, the new edition includes a comprehensive overview of the anatomy and physiology of phonation, esophageal function, and gastroesophageal reflux. It examines the symptoms associated with both typical GERD and atypical (extra-esophageal) reflux, including laryngopharyngeal reflux, and explains their relevance to differential diagnosis. It reviews the latest research data on diagnostic testing paradigms and medical and surgical treatment.

Drs. Kalinowski and Saltuklaroglu present an intriguing new look at understanding and managing stuttering, based on recent discoveries in neuroscience They begin with a thorough history of the research and treatment of the condition before going on to introduce an alternative model of the nature and treatment of stuttering, based on 12 years of research and a lifetime of experience. They propose that visible stuttering manifestations are actually a solution to a central and involuntary problem, acting as a compensatory mechanism for a central involuntary block, rather than a problem in themselves, and suggest exploring natural recovery mechanisms as integral to treatment. While the authors point to advances in science as ultimately being the key to uncovering the cause and cure of the condition, they focus on management with a goal of effective and efficient communication for the clients.

This is the first comprehensive clinical guide to voice and communication therapy for TG/TS clients. The authors’ goal is to aid clinicians in designing and administering a focused and efficient treatment plan, while providing the clinician with the background on and the complexities of the client’s transition process. Beginning with specific terminology, aspects of ethics and confidentiality, and competence issues, the book outlines theory, research, and practice skills, as well as treatment planning. Each chapter suggests safe, appropriate, evidence-based protocols for working in the areas of pitch, intonation, volume, rate, articulation, language, resonance, carry-over, and non-verbal communication. Other outstanding features include coverage of the wide range of considerations, including the team approach and the role of the speech-language pathologist in treatment. Chapters include case studies and the appendices and extensive bibliography further enhance the depth and usefulness of this resource. An accompanying audio CD shows "before and after" communication therapy examples from ten M to F clients. An ideal resource for providing compassionate, focused and successful treatment for TG/TS clients.

This new book is a comprehensive resource for school-based professionals who work with the increasing number of children with cochlear implants. Focusing on giving the reader critical background information, the well-known authors begin with the history, technology, and functionality of cochlear implants. They cover the changes seen in the populations now utilizing these devices and describe how the impact of having an implant can affect a child. Finally, they highlight how the clinician and team providing services can best address each child s individual needs. Special consideration is given to the multidisciplinary team and the culture of collaboration: handling the effects of family influence and participation, issues of special populations (such as non-English-speaking parents), and providing services that best address individual children s needs. Throughout the text, the authors address new questions and issues resulting from the rapidly evolving technology. The authors detail the effects of more and younger children receiving cochlear implants entering into school systems and discuss the emerging and increased role of the speech pathologist. The book is the ideal guide and supplies the school professional with tools for providing the best possible direction and options for children with cochlear implants.

This book provides a functional curriculum for social skill work in the group setting for children with Asperger syndrome. Adams, who is Director of the Radford University Autism Center, has been providing group intervention for children with AS for the past five years, and has based this guide directly on case studies and experience. The result is a necessary guide to an approach that proves ideal for both clinicians and the children they work with. In a group setting, children learn to be part of a group and to interact with peers, while clinicians are able to provide social skill instruction to several children at once. This book is divided into sections that provide information about Asperger syndrome, principles for group intervention, and curricula for group intervention for three different age groups. Adams outlines original exercises for children of preschool age (ages 4 and 5), elementary age (ages 6 though 9), and late elementary/middle school age (ages 10 through 12). The book is unique in its subject matter and approach, and has been written to fill a void in the current clinical literature. Clinicians who work with children with Asperger syndrome will find this friendly resource manual an easy to use, highly interactive learning tool that will improve their clinical repertoire by allowing them to provide effective group treatment for children with Asperger syndrome.

This book is designed as a course in the phonetic transcription of normal and disordered speech. What differentiates this book from existing approaches to phonetic transcription and conversational analysis is that it concentrates on linking together layers of detail to result in a complete record for the entire range of transcribable behaviors. Müller’s book represents the first attempt to amalgamate differing methods to give phoneticians and clinicians a transcriptional tool kit, thus allowing them to generate a rich description of their data. This approach results in a variety of layers of transcription, all or some of which are available to the clinician or researcher faced with the task of transcribing speech. The layers include a base, orthographic layer; segmental and suprasegmental phonetic layers; a gaze and gesture layer; a layer for marking aspects of discourse (e.g., overlap); and finally, a layer for highlighting behaviors of specific clinical interest (e.g., stuttering behavior). This book clearly lays out the various layers of transcription in this approach, illustrating them with normal and clinical data as well as exercises for the reader. Each chapter in the book addresses a different layer of transcription, with a final chapter illustrating how to bring the layers together. Worked examples accompany each chapter, and appendices provide a quick reference to symbols and transcription conventions. Clinicians who need to transcribe speech samples for diagnosing disorders, planning treatment, and measuring treatment efficacy milestones will value that added precision available from use of the upgraded transcription techniques elucidated in this book.

The new edition of this classic text has now been revised and expanded (with completely new chapters on children's singing, the aging voice, vocal health strategies for choral music educators, and vocal pedagogy and choral singing) to the extent that the work is now necessarily and logically divided into two volumes: Vocal Health and Pedagogy Volume I: Science and Assessment, and Volume II: Advanced Assessment and Practice. This first volume focuses on the science behind the many common problems that afflict voice users and enables understanding of the medical approach to problem analysis. World-renowned clinicians and scientists, under the general authorship and editorship of Professor Sataloff, clearly present anatomical, physiological and neurological considerations, as well as covering critical issues relating to patient history, laryngeal function, the physical examination and historical perspectives of vocal pedagogy. The book serves those undertaking vocal pedagogy courses in schools of music, as well as speech and language pathology. Additionally, it represents a valuable resource for professional and amateur performers and their teachers.
