Review

"The author provides functional suggestions throughout the book, as well as many case examples, so readers can identify with the adolescents on their own caseloads. The case examples also can be read in therapy sessions with students so they can relate their own experiences and apply the strategies and principles to themselves. This book is well organized and provides examples to identify problems and implement effective strategies." -- ADVANCE for Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists by Doreen Bridgman, MS, CCC-SLP
