Designed for undergraduate students beginning their educational journey in communication sciences and disorders, this comprehensive new introductory textbook delves into the intricacies of human communication, providing a thorough understanding of the disorders that can impede this vital function. Written by authors with extensive experience in both academic and clinical settings, Communication Sciences and Disorders Across the Lifespan covers the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology, the concept of disability, anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, speech and language development, overviews of the various communication disorders across the lifespan (speech sound disorders, motor speech disorders, pediatric language disorders, learning disorders, literacy impairments, adult language and communication disorders, stuttering, voice disorders, hearing disorders), AAC, evidence-based practice, and research. Case studies are integrated into the text to illustrate the application of theoretical concepts in clinical settings. The authors have created a comprehensive, current, and pedagogically rich resource that stands out for its innovative learning tools and unique chapters, ensuring a well-rounded and engaging experience for students with different learning styles. The text comes with ancillary resources for both instructors and students on a PluralPlus companion website.
