  Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders: Methods for Systematic Inquiry

  Lauren K. Nelson

  Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders: Methods for Systematic Inquiry, Third Edition, is a comprehensive yet comprehendible text meant for instructors and students of research methods in the field of communication sciences and disorders. This forward-thinking text reflects the movement toward evidence-based practice in audiology and speech-language pathology.

  The author ensures that the concepts associated with evidence-based practice are integrated throughout the chapters. Rather than treating empirical research and searching for clinical evidence as separate topics, this text presents both as different applications of a process of scientific inquiry. The order of the chapters reflects the steps a researcher or clinician might complete when conducting an investigation. Also included are features that help students be more active in learning the material. Each chapter has a set of review questions or case scenarios that can be used as homework, as probe questions in class, or as a basis for group activities. In addition, the author provides lists of supplemental readings from the research literature in the field.

  The third edition benefits instructors and students alike with the addition of a companion website. The website provides convenient presentation slides for each chapter and answers to review questions for instructors. For students, the website lists the key words for each chapter, provides links to supplemental websites and documents, and displays interactive versions of many of the figures within the text. Other changes to the third edition include:

  -- Incorporating the recent information on evidence based practice.
  -- Updating the statistics chapter with additional contemporary procedures.
  -- Revising the chapter on research design.

  The Late Eight

  Ken Mitchell Bleile

  The Late Eight, now in its second edition, is a popular resource for clinicians, students, and academics working with students whose speech contains errors affecting [th] (voiced theta), [th] (unvoiced theta), [s], [z], [l], Vocalic [r], [r], [sh], or [ts]. These nine sounds typically are the last acquired by English speaking children, and they are the sounds most likely to challenge school-aged students and non-native English speakers, both children and adults. This text fills the need for a resource that a student or clinician can turn to when treating a school-aged student or non-native English speaker who experiences difficulties with one or more late-acquired sound.

  Resources for each late-acquired sound include:

  -- Technical and non-technical definitions

  -- Age of acquisition

  -- Common errors

  -- Key phonetic environments

  -- Useful metaphors

  -- Touch cues

  -- Initial screening tests

  -- Stimulability tests

  -- Demonstrations of place, manner, and voicing

  -- Phonetic placement and shaping techniques

  -- Speech exercises

  -- Language awareness and speech activities

  -- List of words divided by phonetic and word environments

  -- Minimal pairs

  A companion DVD contains reproducible "cheat sheets," exercises, and word lists for clinical use. Included in these materials are:

  -- 24 different demonstrations of place, manner, and voicing

  -- More than 70 phonetic placement and shaping techniques

  -- Different types of speech exercises

  -- 35 language awareness and speech activities

  -- More than 4,000 words divided by phonetic and word environments

  -- More than 2,200 minimal pairs

  The second edition includes a new chapter, written by Carlin Hageman, gives a motor learning perspective on assessing and treating the late eight.

  In addition, the companion DVD has been greatly expanded, including 20 new phonetic placement and shaping techniques and 20 videos. Each video is focused on a specific aspect of assessing and treating the late eight, including demonstrations and discussions of thorny topics. -- Provided by publisher

  Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders: Methods for Systematic Inquiry

  Lauren K. Nelson

  This popular text, now in its second edition, arose from the author s inability to find a textbook that fully met her or her students' needs! Overly comprehensive texts generate blank faces, while excessively concise texts fail to fully meet the need for an effective depth of learning. This text achieves a great balance between depth of coverage and readability, but balance is not the only reason this book is needed. Reflecting the movement toward evidence-based practice in audiology and speech-language pathology, the author has ensured that the concepts associated with evidence-based practice are integrated throughout the chapters (not just added as a separate chapter or course segment). Also included are features that help students be more active in learning the material. Each chapter has a set of review questions or case scenarios that can be used as homework, as probe questions in class, or as group activities. Importantly, the author has included lists of supplemental readings from the research literature in the field. The second edition has been updated with new references and resources throughout. The chapter on research ethics was expanded to include broader coverage of responsible conduct of research and the impact of HIPAA. Additional information reflecting current practices in evidence-based practice has been added to the chapters on research questions, research design, statistics, and reporting research. The author has added two cases studies designed to promote discussion to the chapters on research ethics and quantitative research design. Tables illustrating example studies from communication sciences and disorders journals have been added to the chapters on non-experimental and experimental design, and the coverage of qualitative research designs has been expanded. Chapter 10 now includes a section on preparing a review of literature. With its many added features and updated, enhanced content, Research in Communication Sciences and Disorders: Methods for Systematic Inquiry, is the ideal textbook for research-related courses. -- Provided by publisher

  Communication and Swallowing Changes in Healthy Aging Adults

  Angela N. Burda

  Communication and Swallow Changes in Healthy Aging Adults compiles and presents the available research on healthy aging adults’ performance and abilities in the following areas: auditory comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking, writing, voice and motor speech abilities, cognition, and swallowing. This text also presents principles from the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and its applications to aging adults. One of the first texts to cover these principles, this book will address the need for a comprehensive view of communication and swallow issues in aging for students of speech-language pathology. Speech-language pathologist students will learn how to fully compare what would be considered normal for their elderly patients rather than overestimating or underestimating what aging adults are capable of doing. Knowing what would be considered within the spectrum of normal, will help speech-language pathologists to address therapy as effectively as possible. Having this information at hand is particularly important as the nation’s population is aging at a rapid rate and there is a need for evidence-based practice in speech-language pathology. Written in an easy to follow format, Communication and Swallow Changes in Healthy Aging Adults includes original research data, discussion questions and a list of Quick Facts at the end of each chapter to summarize key points. This text will serve as a useful resource as students see elderly clients in on-campus speech and hearing clinics and when they intern at hospitals and long-term care facilities.
