MANAGEMENT OF MOTOR SPEECH Disorders in Children and Adults emphasizes how to make clinical decisions based on the underlying neuropathology and severity OF the disorder. The third edition OF this must-have book covers basic neurologic and general information associated with the various diseases, disorders, and syndromes that cause MOTOR SPEECH disorders, and it will serve as an excellent reference source for those practicing in a medical setting. This text contains several noteworthy modifications. 1. DVD - contains 26 video segments showing children and adults with dysarthria and apraxia OF SPEECH engaged in a range OF speaking tasks. Intelligibility, aerodynamic, and endoscopic assessments OF SPEECH performance are illustrated, as are brief demonstrations and interviews with a prosthodontist and a SPEECH-language pathologist involved in respiratory, palatal lift, and nasal obturation interventions. 2. ANCDS - content from the eight recently published practice guidelines developed by the Academy OF Neurologic Communication Disorders and Sciences (ANCDS) for the MOTOR SPEECH disorders field are integrated into this edition. 3. ICF - terminology and concepts OF the International Classification OF Function, Disability and Health (ICF) model are integrated through the book 4. New Chapter 13 - lists conditions associated with MOTOR SPEECH disorders and summarizes the medical aspects and SPEECH characteristics OF various conditions. Complete Kit Includes: Textbook and Video Segments DVD. c2010
The field of movement disorders is relatively broad, encompassing disorders of increased movement, such as tremors, dystonia, and tics, to disorders characterized by a paucity of movement, such as Parkinson's disease. Our understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms and our treatment options are expanding at a rapid pace. This expansion ranges from the medical and surgical advances in treating Parkinson's disease to the flood of genetic abnormalities that have now been found to cause various movement disorders. Although many patients are seen by the movement disorders specialist in neurology clinics around the country, most of these patients receive their followup care from a primary care physician or "general" neurologist who must be versed in the character istics and treatment plans of this diverse group of disorders. The major goal of Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for the Practicing Physician is to distill this immense amount of information and to educate the practitioner about the many facets of the movement disorders field. We believe that this book fills a large void, since most texts on movement disorders are more detailed and geared toward the specialist. We have asked the chapter authors to emphasize the clinical characteristics of each disorder, discuss the differential diagnosis and the diagnostic testing, and then outline the various treatment options, as if they were teaching during a preceptorship in their clinic.
Provides clinically relevant information for clinicians and students. Addresses theory, assessment procedures, treatment and management, issues in swallowing and feeding, stuttering, augmentative and alternative communication methods, and functional treatment outcomes. Extensive references.

MOTOR SPEECH DISORDERS: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, 2E offers a detailed yet streamlined introduction to motor speech disorders. The text opens with a brief historical review of motor speech disorders, providing useful context for understanding the technology and methodology modern speech-language pathologists employ for evaluation and treatment today. Without overwhelming students with complex detail, the text also provides a practical introduction to the human motor system, including the anatomy and physiology involved in motor speech disorders. A series of chapters offers an in-depth look at the six pure dysarthrias, as well as mixed dysarthria and apraxia of speech, including detailed information on etiology, characteristics, and treatment. MOTOR SPEECH DISORDERS: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT, 2E has been updated with high quality illustrations, as well as information on cutting-edge treatment procedures and current best practices.

Based on selected papers given at the Conference on Motor Speech Disorders held in 1992 at Boulder, Colorado, this volume presents original research on a broad range of motor speech disorder topics in children and adults, e.g., speech characteristics and speech-related physiologic functions for individuals with apraxia, spasmodic torticollis, spasmodic dysphonia, traumatic brain injury, and Parkinson's disease. Primarily for clinical practitioners in speech- language pathology, researchers in neuromotor speech disorders, and students of neurogenic speech disorders.

Many children and adults experience impairment of their communication skills. These communication disorders impact adversely on all aspects of these individuals' lives. In thirty dedicated chapters, The Cambridge Handbook of Communication Disorders examines the full range of developmental and acquired communication disorders and provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the epidemiology, aetiology and clinical features of these disorders. The volume also examines how these disorders are assessed and treated by speech and language therapists and addresses recent theoretical developments in the field. The handbook goes beyond well-known communication disorders to include populations such as children with emotional disturbance, adults with non-Alzheimer dementias and people with personality disorders. Each chapter describes in accessible terms the most recent thinking and research in communication disorders. The volume is an ideal guide for academic researchers, graduate students and professionals in speech and language therapy.
