Professional Writing in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology Workbook

With the same spirit of joy, irreverence, and fun, the authors of Professional Writing in Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology have produced a companion Workbook. It provides instruction in, and opportunities to improve the accuracy and clarity of writing that students and professionals need for success in clinical practicum, evidence-based practice, and career advancement. The nine chapters and accompanying CD use the knowledge and skills assessment (KASA) format to address common errors in usage and scholarship, as well as compliance with ethical issues, use of Internet and library resources, and strategies for oral presentation. The Workbook may be used as a stand-alone text for clinical practicum or for a professional writing course. The authors have combined it with the 2009 text for an introductory course in research methods.
