COVID-19 and Speech-Language Pathology

This collection is the first of its kind to examine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the caseloads and clinical practice of speech-language pathologists. Featuring perspectives of scholars and practitioners from around the globe, the book examines the ways in which clinicians have had to modify their working practices to prioritise patient and clinician safety, including the significant increase in the use of telepractice during the pandemic.

Communication Disorders in Multicultural and International Populations

This fourth edition features a wealth of updates and new features including the latest research and added coverage of communication issues in countries such as Australia, China, Canada, and Brazil.

International Handbook of Language Acquisition

How do children acquire language? How does real life language acquisition differ from results found in controlled environments? And how is modern life challenging established theories? The International Handbook of Language Acquisition is essential reading for graduate students and researchers in language acquisition across developmental psychology, developmental neuropsychology, linguistics, early childhood education, and communication disorders.

Clinical Cases in Augmentative and Alternative Communication

Carefully grounded in evidence-based clinical practice, the book highlights the diversity of potential applications for AAC across a wide range of client groups, including children and adults with developmental disabilities, as well as adults with acquired impairments.

Working with Families in Speech-Language Pathology

This book links research to clinical practice with studies of parents’ perceptions of their involvement in their child’s intervention, and their relationship with the Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) being used to inform clinicians of the most effective ways of interacting with and involving parents in SLP intervention.
