(A number of professional issues critical to the managemen...)
A number of professional issues critical to the management of communicative disorders tend to be considered superficially--if at all--in college curriculums. Advanced speech-language pathology or audiology students and practitioners often lack an awareness or understanding of professional ethics, credentialing, contractual aspects of the client-clinician relationship, patient rights, among other issues that will affect their professional well-being. This practical guide provides students and clinicians with useful strategies for coping with their professional responsibilities, a more objective attitude toward change, and the ability to cope with change. It also includes information needed to meet the requirements of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's new KASA certification standards for documenting essential knowledge of professional ethics and other issues, as well as online sources for going beyond the essentials. Readers gain insight into the real world of their profession and a means to master objectives that will enable their success.

This is a practical guide that covers key professional issues currently under discussion in the field. This book will help readers and practitioners develop a more objective attitude toward change and increase their ability to adapt by equipping them with coping strategies for dealing with these inevitable changes. As changes occur in this country's health care delivery, many new clinical and professional issues are impacting the practice of Speech Pathology and Audiology. This book provides a discussion of issues of the next century that will have to be tackled by the next generation of speech-language pathologists and audiologists.

(Speech-language pathologists and audiologists are increas...)
Speech-language pathologists and audiologists are increasingly being expected to incorporate technology, through computers and augmentative communication devices, into their clinical practice. To be able to do so competently, they need to understand -- at least intuitively -- how the instrumentation they are expected to use functions. Without such knowledge, they are less likely to use it in a safe, effective manner and to the benefit of their clients. This book not only helps "technophobic" practitioners feel comfortable utilizing instrumentation in a clinical setting, but is also an invaluable tool in helping them use it effectively enough to satisfy the requirement of the American Speech-Hearing Association (ASHA) Ethical Code. This book provides basic knowledge of the underlying principles of instrumentation, focusing on its use in clinical settings. The information on electronics helps readers understand the functioning of electronic circuits and devices and to feel comfortable using them clinically. It includes instructions on how to perform basic maintenance tasks on clinical instrumentation and how to troubleshoot malfunctions if they occur. It also explains how to connect components of clinical instruments to each other appropriately and to make and repair the cables used for connection. The author stresses the importance of safety throughout the book. Speech-language pathologists, audiologists, and professors.

(Speech, Language and Hearing Disorders introduces student...)
Speech, Language and Hearing Disorders introduces students to the symptomatology and etiology of the various communicative disorders and to the general processes involved in evaluation and therapy This includes discussions of variables that influence the clinical relationship, question asking/ answering and hypothesis developing/testing strategies that underlie the evaluation process, goal-setting and the process involved in selecting intervention strategies, learning theory principles and cognitive strategies on which management approaches for communicative disorders are based, and why it is important for clinicians to routinely audit and document the impact of therapies on their clients.

(KEY BENEFIT: Almost all of the 60,000+ speech-language pa...)
KEY BENEFIT: Almost all of the 60,000+ speech-language pathologists and audiologists in the United States now have to be able to document convincingly the positive impact of intervention on their clients if they are to be competitive for "third-party" funding. Most are not familiar with the research methodologies needed to do it in a way that funding agencies are highly likely to regard as being scientific, objective, competent and valid. This book focuses on conducting and consuming clinical research. By not assuming any prior knowledge of statistics, this book teaches how to interpret and critically evaluate the data analyses and conclusions of studies in which statistics are used. It also summarizes the legal and ethical aspects of clinical research. Additionally, the widespread availability of software for computing statistics by issuing a command or two has resulted in a shift in emphasis from knowing how to compute statistics to knowing when to use the various statistics and how to appropriately interpret them. This book reflects this change in emphasis. Written as a professional book for speech-language pathologists and audiologists, it will enable them to document the impacts of intervention on their clients in ways that medical insurance programs and public school administrators are likely to regard as being both "scientific" and valid.

( Silverman provides graduate students who intend to purs...)
Silverman provides graduate students who intend to pursue a career in academia and tenure-track junior faculty with candid information about developing an adequate publication record. The book also provides graduate students, tenured faculty, and others with information they need to maximize the likelihood of having their articles accepted for publication by peer-reviewed professional, scientific, and scholarly journals. The focus throughout is on how editorial boards and tenure committees tend to function rather than on how they are supposed to function. Anyone dealing with academic publishing will find this book an indispensable resource. Topics dealt with include coping with the fear of writing for publication, options for scholarly publishing, identifying ideal publishing-for-tenure projects, understanding and coping successfully with peer review process, finding the time to write scholarly publications, and standards for writing and organizing scholarly articles for print and electronic journals. It also covers securing permission to include copyrighted material in your work that does not fall under the doctrine of fair use, submission strategies for getting articles published in academically-respectable journals, and gray area plagiarism and other breaches of academic ethics. It shows how to prepare the publication section of a promotion and tenure application. It offers advice on finding funding for beginning scholars and publishing options for surviving post-tenure reviews. Lastly, the book gives practical advice on coping with manuscript rejection.

This is the first book in this field to examine computers and their impact on the study and practice of speech-language pathology and audiology. It introduces students to the multitude of ways that speech-language pathologists and audiologists have used computers to provide clinical services more efficiently and more cost-effectively. With this information, students will be better able to adequately promote the welfare of the persons they serve professionally in the managed health care, cost-containment environment in which they are likely to be required to practice in the near future.
