The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists estimates that
2.5 million people in the UK have a communication disorder. Of this
number, some 800,000 people have a disorder that is so severe that
it is hard for anyone outside their immediate families to
understand them. In Clinical Linguistics, Louise Cummings provides
a comprehensive introduction to speech and language therapy which
will give SLT students an excellent starting point for a wide range
of communication impairments. In chapters that are dedicated to the
discussion of individual communication disorders, Cummings argues
that no treatment of this area can reasonably neglect an
examination of the prevalence and causes of communication
disorders. The assessment and treatment of these disorders by
speech and language therapists are discussed at length. This book
contains up-to-date research into communication disorders and
describes the various technological innovations that are integral
to the work of speech and language therapists. Clinical Linguistics
is appropriate reading for students, practitioners and researchers
in speech-language pathology and related clinical and academic
disciplines. It contains the following chapters: The Scope of
Clinical Linguistics; Disorders of the Pre- and Perinatal Period;
Disorders of Cognitive Development; Disorders of Speech and
Language Development; Acquired Communication and Swallowing
Disorders; Disorders of Fluency; Disorders of Voice.
