Customer Reviews

Worth it!
I would like to recommend this book to any beginning clinician. While obtaining my graduate degree I've been a little aprehensive towards my success in teaching and helping those who need speech and language services. This book gives gives examples of how normal therapy sessions can be executed and there's a wealth of information on the fundamentals of early intervention. A very good investment...

didn't like this book
I am finishing up my CFY in Speech Pathology. This is one of several post-grad school books that I bought in preparation for my job. I haven't found it useful at all. I use the Hedge's Guides (Treatment and Diagnosis) and several of my grad school textbooks. I also like the "Source" (Source for Aphasia, etc.) books.

OK but NOT worth full price
This book will be most helpful for graduate students who are looking for visual examples of the therapy process. Practicing professionals will find this extremely basic. I truly feel that the publisher is charging too much for this book - $40 is more appropriate in my opinion. I sold mine as a used copy after owning it for a year and only reading it once during my CFY.
