For readers looking to understand lexical access and word-finding
difficulty (WFD), Semantic Processing and Word Finding Difficulty
Across the Lifespan: A Practical Guide for Speech-Language
Pathologists provides a comprehensive review of current research
and clinical approaches to establish a holistic, interdisciplinary
understanding of lexical access and retrieval difficulty across
different communication disorders. By including practical
guidelines and protocols, this professional text can help
speech-language pathologists (SLPs) and other related professionals
bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. This text
covers a wide range of communication disorders, including
developmental language disorder, autism spectrum disorder, aphasia,
normal aging, and dementia. It illustrates the connections between
the research evidence and clinical practice and addresses lexical
learning and retrieval difficulty through a holistic lens and
cognitive-linguistic frameworks. This text integrates research
evidence from a variety of disciplines, including speech-language
pathology, linguistics, neuroscience, and psychology. The authors
take readers for a deep dive into different underlying problems
that lead to lexical access and retrieval difficulty and strategies
to remediate them effectively. By addressing lexical issues from a
broader view, this unique resource helps readers see the
connections from different perspectives to further understand the
complex issues involved in lexical learning and retrieval. Key
Features A discussion of lexical learning and expansion from birth
to school-age by incorporating metalinguistic skills and
considering the relationships between language domains. An
exploration of contributing factors to lexical learning and word
retrieval. A holistic review of standardized and nonstandard
measures for the breadth and depth of lexical access and retrieval
across the lifespan and for people with diverse cultural and
linguistic backgrounds. A comprehensive review of current available
evidence-based and semantic-focused interventions for both
developmental and neurogenic communication disorders. Chapter
summaries and discussion questions close each chapter. Clinical
implication sections help connect research to clinical practice.
Therapy plan examples for commonly implemented lexical intervention
approaches. A PluralPlus companion website with printable versions
