Not as helpful as I had hoped, July 11, 2009

I guess I'd say this book is not quite basic enough for my needs right now as a student doing my first practicum. I'll probably go back to it later, but right now what I need is "practicum for dummies"! Also, it has limited examples and suggested ideas for each disorder. I recommend Survival Guide for the Beginning Speech-Language Clinician and Clinical Methods And Practicum In Speech-Language Pathology (Singular Textbook Series). I've found these two to have good basics.

Treatment Resource Manual, July 26, 2002

I have founds both the Assessment and Treatment Manual equally helpful for new and experienced SLP's. As for the review titled "Speech therapy does not work," it is clear that we have a irrational person that cannot see beyond his/her personal experience to see how invaluable SLP's are. We are trained to service many different ages and disorders. Effectiveness of a whole profession should never be evaluated out of anger from an individual experience. However, it is evident that certain support groups are trying to program families into this belief, which is very unfortunate and unproductive(especially for the person their trying to advocate for)! Speech Language Pathologist are helping their clients daily in the rehabilitation and remediation of skills to help them regain or acquire skills that enable them to function in society. Along with cognitive rehabilitation and speech and language intervention, we also provide dsyphagia therapy (feeding therapy) which certainly helps a client to begin/regain the ability to tolerate certain types of food/textures. This is done to ultimately avoid aspiration pnuemonia, which could be fatal if not treated. This technique strenghthens muscles that assist in eating and articulating. As you can see, our profession is extrememly important. Unfortunately we are not "miracle workers" and can only rehab and treat to the client's ability. A team of advocates, lawyers, or irate family members cannot change this in a person. It is what it is. Maybe the anger should be redirected positively to the person who really needs it, and acceptance should begin. Just then, maybe "real" progress may be observed. SLP's are not rewarded by high salaries, but work and worry about our clients endlessly. Our therapuetic techniques evolve as research does. Keeping an open mind helps people to improve professionally, as well as personally.

good resource, January 6, 2001

This is an excellent resource with descriptions, ideas, examples, helpful hints and age appropirate goals. Not only do you get sample activies but they are very detailed too. They also list additional resources. OH! and example profiles... you can see if one of your students has similar attributes. They have therapy for children, adolescents and adults... what more can you ask for. I used this book to learn and use "pace" therapy, what a great help! =)
