Give your students the tools they need to evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients with neurogenic communication disorders! This bestselling text provides a solid foundation in the neurology of communication, as well as the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, assessment, and management of commonly encountered neurologenic communication disorders in adults. A concise, evidence-based approach shows how to measure and treat abnormalities such as aphasia, dysarthria, right-hemisphere syndrome, and traumatic brain injury syndrome. Updated with new coverage of laboratory tests, blast-related injuries to the head, and medications for dementia, this text will help your students develop skills in the rehabilitation of clients with neurogenic communication disorders.
-
- NEW content on closed-head injuries as a consequence of blast injury is included in the Traumatic Brain Injury chapter, addressing a pathophysiology often found in Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans.
- UPDATED content includes new information on medications for treatment of persons with dementia, the latest laboratory tests for neurologic assessment, and the most current cognitive rehabilitation approaches.
- Thought questions in each chapter — NEW questions are included — provide realistic scenarios and challenge students to assess their understanding, think critically, and apply information to clinical situations. Suggested answers are included in the appendix.
- Additional content on evidence-based practice includes systematic reviews and meta-analyses relating to the efficacy and effectiveness of specific treatment approaches.
- Clinical vignettes show how to apply principles to practice and illustrate how patients are evaluated and treated.
