Brain-Based Communication Disorders

Brain-Based Communication Disorders introduces the reader to the major clinically recognized types of acquired speech/language, cognitive, and swallowing disorders encountered by clinicians working with child and adult neurological cases. The text provides contemporary and state-of-the-art content on these disorders in terms of their neuropathological bases, clinical symptomatology, and prognosis. Basic anatomy and physiology of human communication and swallowing is introduced, as well as the neural mechanisms controlling speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing functions. In addition to the traditional acquired speech/language disorders of the nervous system (aphasia; neuromotor speech disorders) content including communication impairments caused by traumatic brain injury, multisystem blast injuries, and degenerative disorders of the nervous system is also provided. The reader is also introduced to the principles that govern the assessment and treatment for both pediatric and adult populations.

... and Principles In a European Neurology Society Meeting on
neurorehabilitation, Butterworth and Howard (1990) articulated some theoretic
suppositions that can serve as useful principles for rehabilitation of brain-based
disorders.

Brain-based Communication Disorders

Brain-Based Communication and Swallowing Disorders introduces the reader to the major clinically recognised types of acquired speech/language disorders encountered by clinicians working with child and adult neurological cases. The text provides a base level understanding of these disorders in terms of their neuropathological basis, clinical symptomatology, and prognosis. Basic anatomy and physiology of the speech production apparatus is introduced, as well as the neural mechanisms controlling speech and language functions. In addition to the more traditional acquired speech/language disorders associated with disorders of the nervous system, coverage of communicative impairments arising from traumatic brain injury and degenerative disorders of the central nervous system is also provided. The reader is also introduced to the principles that govern the assessment and the treatment of acquired neurological speech/language disorders in adults. No other book on the market provides a first year level coverage of the range of acquired neurological speech/language disorders like Brain-Based Communication and Swallowing Disorders.

Relevant video clips supplement the text with real world illustrations. This book offers updated clinical management information useful for both the clinician in training and experienced practicing clinicians.
