Synopsis

Now in its ninth edition, the widely-used book continues to serve both readers and clinicians as the classic introduction to communication disorders. Charles Van Riper's inimitable easy-to-read style, clinical focus, and emphasis on the person with the disability has been preserved and updated by his close friend and colleague, Robert Erickson.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

As were its eight previous editions, this book is intended primarily for undergraduate students of human communication sciences and disorders; however, it also should be of interest to students of elementary and pre-primary education, music therapy, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, special education, psychology, and social work. Predentistry and premedicine students also may find in this text useful overviews of many of the disability types that they eventually will encounter in their practices.

About the Author:

van Riper is the Field Station Leader of the USGS Southwest Biological Science Center's Sonoran Desert Field Station, and is also a Professor in the Wildlife and Fisheries Department in the School of Renewable Natural Resources at the University of Arizona.
