A Coursebook on Scientific and Professional Writing for
Speech-Language Pathology, Sixth Edition is a unique interactive
resource to help students develop the strong writing skills
necessary for a successful clinical or academic career in
speech-language pathology. The book not only describes the
principles of good writing, but also contains numerous
opportunities to practice writing skills replete with exemplars.
The Coursebook is ideal for dedicated courses on scientific and/or
professional writing, and can also be used in courses on
assessment, research methods, and clinical methods and practicum.
The first section of the book is a refresher on the basic rules of
grammar, punctuation, and composition. The second section is
focused on scientific writing and explains the different types of
academic publications, offers tips on how to write without bias,
and describes the typical manuscript formatting required by
scientific publications. It also includes examples of the "elements
of scientific style," such as capitalization and abbreviations, how
to reference sources cited within the text, and how to prepare the
reference list. Also covered are how to submit a manuscript to
scholarly journals and best practices for proofreading and making
revisions. The last section is focused on professional/clinical
writing and the various written communications speech-language
pathologists (SLPs) prepare as part of their jobs. These include
diagnostic reports, brief and comprehensive treatment plans, and
progress reports. The book ends with a section on report writing
for SLPs working in public schools, including assessment reports,
IEPs, and SOAP notes. A unique and student-friendly feature of the
book is its practical design. The first two sections provide
incorrect exemplars the user can rewrite or write correctly. In the
last section, left-hand pages show specific examples of general,
scientific, or professional writing, and the corresponding
right-hand pages allow students to practice writing. Updates to the
Scientific Writing section include: Incorporation of APA 7th
edition changes to reference citations and preparation of the
reference list, along with updates on how to cite electronic
sources. Information on how to submit content to academic journals
and conferences, preparing electronic manuscripts, and making
revisions in light of the copyeditor's comments have been updated
to current publishing industry standards. Updates to the
Professional Writing section include: Updates to reflect current
clinical terminology and practice in speech-language pathology. A
new trial-by-trial treatment progress recording sheet has been
added to the progress report section. An Objective, Subjective,
Assessment, Plan (SOAP) progress report written for medical
settings has been added, along with a new section on report writing
in public schools, which includes an assessment plan that helps
determine whether a student meets the school district's criteria
for enrollment in clinical speech-language services.
