Product Description

This is the second edition of Introduction to Clinical Methods in Communication Disorders which originally published in 2002. Like the first edition, this textbook guides SLPs through the entire clinical experience, including the process of assessment using a variety of instruments, sampling of communicative behaviors, and planning and implementing interventions. The chapters provide introductory and background information and also address current issues such as multiculturalism and technological advances. The book discusses a wide range of clinical approaches (pull out, consultation, collaboration) in a variety of settings (hospitals, schools, etc.) and shows how they apply across communication disorders. Based on standards mandated by ASHA, this second edition serves as an essential start to mastering the science and art of clinical practice.

Review
I will be using the second edition of the Paul book this fall. I'm very pleased that this edition contained the chapter on EBP, as I had to supplement it last year with information from other sources. --Department of Special Education & Communication Disorders, Bridgewater State College

Thank you.
I am very pleased with how nice the book is. It was brand new and nothing was wrong with it in any way.

Intro to Clinical Methods
This book gave a nice across-the-board overview of communication disorders and methods of assesing disorders. I used it to help me write a paper and will probably use it again in my work as a speech path.
