The standard text for clinical methods courses is now updated and expanded to serve as the comprehensive single resource for specific therapy techniques for a wide variety of communication disorders, covering children and adults. Organized in two main sections, the manual covers the basic principles of speech-language intervention and information reporting systems as well as therapy strategies. Finally, a chapter on practical suggestions for effective parent and family counseling helps pull it all together in an especially useful manner. As more and more speech-language pathologists work privately and more independently, this manual serves as an aide to help supplement their knowledge when immediate consultation with colleagues is not available.
