Assessment of Communication Disorders in Children Description
Assessment of Communication Disorders in Children 2 Edition Assessment of communication disorders in children needs a precise plan of action based on scholarly information. Clinicians typically find that they have to seek scholarly and background information on assessment in one source and practical assessment tools in another. Most background information on assessment techniques are to be found in more traditionally written textbooks on assessment. More practical assessment tools are typically presented in resource books. Clinicians often find this an inefficient arrangement to gain access to both scholarly background and practical procedures of assessment. Sometimes the different sources the clinicians have to access may be somewhat inconsistent with each other, creating further problems of integration and validation. Therefore, to solve these practical and technical problems, this assessment book includes two chapters each on the most commonly assessed communication disorders in children-one to provide the scholarly background and the other to give practical assessment protocols. Thus, in a single source, the clinicians can find both scholarly information and practical protocols to assess speech, language, fluency, voice disorders, as well as nonverbal communication in children with limited verbal skills.
