Book Description

Communication impairment affects individuals across the lifespan. From children who are slow to acquire language skills to adults who suffer from hearing impairment, the needs of people who are afflicted with such disorders vary immensely according to their age, cause, and degree of severity. This book's lifespan perspective on disorders from infancy through geriatrics covers both child and adult communication disorders of hearing, articulation, language, voice, and fluency. This comprehensive resource provides a strong introduction to communication processes and disorders, and is complemented by its focus on clinical illustrations of normal and disordered speech, language, and hearing. The chapters reflect insights gained from first-hand clinical, research, and teaching experiences across a variety of clinical populations. The authors include many clinical anecdotes and case histories that illustrate examples of both normal communication and communication disorders. Speech pathologists, audiologists, language and communication specialists, educators, parents, and families.ÿ

Book Description

Most books that discuss children with speech impairments or cultural-linguistic differences begin with the premise that these kids are part of a disabled population. Such categorization obviously handicaps them in many ways at a very young age. Owens's book instead shifts this focus to the environment in which these children excel, the learning techniques which motivate them, and the early intervention which can prevent damage to their self-esteem and ability to learn language. This book takes a functional approach, using the childÕs natural environment and conversational partners. This well-organized book takes the reader from model through disorder, then to assessment and intervention. Updated throughout with current trends and developments in the field, it is full of practical ideas and useful suggestions for readers. It provides concrete guidelines and procedures for the assessment and training of children as well as the training of speech-language pathologists. Speech-pathologists, teachers, child development counselors, and parents.

A Functional Approach Just Makes Sense.......2000-05-06

Perhaps the biggest challenge facing speech language pathologists when working with their clients is getting them to generalize the newly-learned language targets to novel contexts. After all, what good is speech-language therapy if the client does not use the skills outside of the therapy room?

Dr. Owens' book, Language Disorders: A Functional Approach to Assessment and Intervention, addresses this issue in great depth. The book shows how a conversationally-based, client-centered approach to assessment and intervention will greatly increase the likelihood of generalization. It also shows how the traditional approach of teaching language targets separately and out of context may not be the best method to achieve generalization. The book stresses, rather, to assess and train language where it will be used: in conversation. Owens also discusses at length the assessment and intervention of culturally and linguistically diverse children.

One major point made in the book early-on regarding intervention is the idea of making a plan for generalization when picking language targets, before therapy begins. So often SLPs make the mistake of addressing generalization toward the end of intervention, resulting in the SLP choosing inappropriate targets and/or the client showing a lack of carryover to novel contexts.

Book Description

LANGUAGE DISORDERS FROM INFANCY THROUGH ADOLESCENCE, 2nd Edition provides readers with the information they need to properly identify and assess childhood language disorders and to provide appropriate treatment. The book, divided into three sections and a total of fifteen chapters, covers the entire developmental period while also delving into additional concepts that are important to the practice of child language disorders, including prevention, syndromes associated with language disorders, and multicultural practice.

Customer Reviews:

A great reference for undergraduate, post-graduates and practitioner for speech-language pathology.......2007-05-09

The revised version proven to be another paramount work by Professor Rhea Paul. It contains more updated contents written in a search-easy format. The updated knowledge captures the latest development in speech-language pathology for children. The author inspires the readers to be up-front with newest evidence-based practice.

Excellent.......2007-03-09

I was very pleased!! fast delivery & a cheaper price
than the college bookstore!!

a superb text!.......2002-03-18

This book is a strong resource for any clinician dealing with language disorders. It clearly outlines intervention, assessment, different disorders etc. It covers a lot of material, but manages not to feel dense. It also provides tons of ideas for therapy... lists of children's books categorized by what therapy goal addresses (e.g. pronouns)... sample activities etc. Paul does a nice job of summarizing the current research and its implications for the clinician. I honestly don't know how I would have survived my first preschool placement without this book. Whenever I was stumped, this is where I turned. This is the type of book that you never get around to putting back on the shelf for you are always using it. Plus, as an added bonus it reads very well, more like a story than a text.

You must read this for clinical practice.......2000-11-26

This is a must read book, especially for student who have clinical practice. This book covers most of the important aspects in language intervention. Many useful examples are list, so that you can easily apply the knowledge into your real cases!

User-friendly guide for beginning clinicians.......2000-03-05

After repeatedly checking this book out from the library, I bought my own copy. I found the organization of assessment and treatment by age group to be helpful, and the wealth of non-standardized testing methods both appropriate and easy to implement. As the author says, it is designed for the beginning clinician and provides a worthwhile resource for anyone working with children. Though it does provide theoretical discussion, it is primarily a "hands-on" book. I would recommend this book as a primary text, a supplemental text, or a resource for SLPs who are updating their knowledge and practice in child language.
