Clinical Methods and Practicum in Speech-Language Pathology, Seventh Edition
With major content updates and enhanced supporting online materials, the seventh edition of Clinical Methods and Practicum in Speech-Language Pathology remains an essential resource for students in speech-language pathology who are about to begin their clinical practicum. The text is a comprehensive source of information that will help establish clear expectations for both student clinicians and clinical supervisors. It is hoped that students who read this book prior to starting their clinical practicum will be better prepared to meet the exciting and yet often challenging task of providing ethical and effective services to children and adults with communication disorders. Readers will gain an understanding of the structure of different clinical practicum sites; principles of ethical practices; conduct, behavior, and competencies expected of them; justifiable expectations of their clinical supervisors; and the many fundamental principles of assessment and intervention across most disorders of communication. The book is divided into two sections: clinical practicum and clinical methods in speech-language pathology. These sections provide coverage of the structural and functional aspects of clinical practicum in a variety of settings. The author emphasizes that clinical practicum is an exciting learning experience. The students will understand what is expected of them in each setting and what they can expect from their clinical supervisors. An overview of treatment methods that apply across disorders is also included.

Now in its fifth edition, Hegde's PocketGuide to Assessment in Speech-Language Pathology is a renowned resource, the first of its kind, and now a classic in communication sciences and disorders. This new, fifth edition of the PocketGuide to Assessment, retains and enhances its unique feature of three books in one: a dictionary of assessment procedures, a textbook on assessment of every disorder of communication, and a very practical and comprehensive clinical guide that clinicians can use in their everyday practice. With this guide, both students and professional clinicians may have—at their fingertips—the encyclopedic knowledge of the entire range of assessment concepts and approaches, common methods and procedures, standardized tests as well as client specific alternatives, and specific guidelines and techniques to assess all disorders of communication, including those in ethnoculturally diverse individuals. The speech-language pathologist that has this handy guide in his or her pocket will have a quick as well as a detailed description of not only standard and standardized assessment procedures, but also task-oriented assessment outlines the clinician may follow in assessing every client with any kind of communication disorder. Many assessment outlines are self-sufficient in the manner of client-specific or criterion-referenced procedures that help evaluate impaired tasks that are also treatment targets.
