6th Edition
by Froma Roth (Author), Colleen K. Worthington (Author)
The thoroughly revised Sixth Edition of the best-selling Treatment Resource Manual for Speech-Language Pathology remains
an ideal textbook for clinical methods courses in speech-language pathology, as well as for students entering their clinical practicum or preparing for certification and licensure. It is also a beloved go-to resource for practicing clinicians who need a thorough guide to effective intervention approaches/strategies.
This detailed,
evidence-based book includes complete coverage of common disorder
characteristics, treatment approaches, information on reporting
techniques, and patient profiles across a wide range of child and adult
client populations. The text is divided into two sections. The first
part is focused on preparing for effective intervention, and the second
part, the bulk of the book, is devoted to therapy strategies for
specific disorders. Each of these chapters features a brief description
of the disorder, case examples, specific suggestions for the selection
of therapy targets, and sample therapy activities. Each chapter
concludes with a set of helpful hints on intervention and a selected
list of available therapy materials and resources.
