About this title

Synopsis

Designed for undergraduate-level students, INTRO delivers fundamental information about various communication disorders. This second edition is beautifully illustrated and written in an engaging, yet straightforward approach with an overview of the formative history, as well as current theories and research provided for each disorder.

This edition maintains the strong international focus of the previous edition, with coverage of country-specific incidence and prevalence of various communication disorders in each chapter. Each chapter has also been updated to include highlights of current technological and research advances taking place in various areas of communication sciences and disorders. The text includes real-life examples in the form of video links in each chapter to help reinforce the information in the text.

An Instructor's CD contains PowerPoint slides and test questions for use in the classroom.
