Hegde's Pocketguide to Assessment in Speech-language Pathology

This pocket guide describes the assessment of all disorders of communication. Organized alphabetically, entries define assessment procedures, concepts, and tools and discuss communication disorders and their evaluation, with information on assessment objectives and general guidelines, case history and interview focus, ethnocultural considerations, related assessment data, analysis of results, diagnostic criteria, differential diagnosis, prognosis, and recommendations. Updated and expanded, this edition has updated entries to reflect current practice, procedures, and the research base; information on newer standardized tests and evidence-based alternative approaches to assess ethnoculturally diverse individuals; assessment outlines; more concise presentation of practical information; and a new size for portability.
