Speech and Language Therapy: Issues in Professional Practice

This book is about novel ways of working across a broad range of clinical areas – children, learning disabilities and adlts with acquired communication disabilities.
 
Recognition of commonalities across specialist areas is increasing all the time, and reflects changes in health care and the profile of undergraduate training. It explores the paradigm shifts from technical rational approaches to professional artistry, underpinned by reflective practice and user involvement. There is as yet no book which sets up speech and language therapy in this context, and provides therapists with frameworks for developing their practice.
