This textbook is full of lots of information however it's a good idea to look at the table of contents to find exactly the area you are looking for. You will find a variety of areas it will cover.

Every SLP Needs This!

I could not function without my "Speech Bible." Every once in a while when I need a quick refresher on certain topics, this book provides me with the information I need. I also like to use their forms when I do informal testing/observations of children.

This book is a great resource for speech-language pathologists. The cover and pages are flimsy. The CD is very useful.

Great Book!

I ordered this book when taking my pre-reqs before getting into the SLP program. It's a great book. It pretty much breaks down everything you are going to be needing. Coincidence is that I am going to be using it next semester for a class, so that's great...
The only thing that I didn't find in the book that I wish it had was direction on how to write goal and objectives. I just ordered a couple books that seemed to have themes dealing with that... so we'll see.

Valuable resource

2007-06-27
This text is a valuable resource for any professional speech pathologist or student in the field as it clearly explains how you would go about doing assessments. There are lots of examples and assessment forms for most speech disorders, so you become very familiar with assessings individuals/furure clients. I found this book to be a necessary part of my resources as I study to become a speech pathologist.
