Download or read book Speech and Language Therapy and Professional Identity written by Jane Stokes (Lecturer in speech and language therapy) and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Values and practices within the profession of speech and language therapy are based in deeply embedded assumptions that form a tacit knowledge base, not always accessible to practitioners and students of speech and language therapy. Received wisdom about what a speech and language therapist (SLT) does greatly influences the development of professional identity. Unspoken sets of values that surround the work of SLTs in the UK in the 21st century are often unchallenged and unexplored in the professional literature. Reflecting on the ways in which our universities and placement experiences prepare student practitioners for their career, we are faced with a range of unarticulated prejudices and preconceptions. This book aims to explore and challenge the ways that students are prepared for professional practice. It reflects a diversity of views and will contribute to a broader, richer conversation about issues that lie under the SLT profession." -- Publisher's description

Download or read book Communication Disorders written by Ellen Kester and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get exact information on 24 common disorders and how communication can be negatively impacted. Resources abound on the nature of disorders such as Autism and Down Syndrome. However, how do we help these individuals communicate more effectively and where do we find resources to learn more? Within this book, each communication disorder is described by the definition, description, characteristics, causes, implications for treatment, and additional resources, such as support groups, books, websites and additional sources for finding out more to best support individuals who struggle communicating. Supporting individuals with communication disorders and related conditions involves a coordinated team of people that can include family, professionals, educators and other community members. Whether seeking support for adults or children with communication disorders, ensuring everyone involved is as knowledgeable as possible is key to providing support to the individual and their family. This resource serves to be a guide to do just that. Communication disorders are some of the most common disabilities in the United States, affecting both children and adults. This book came together as part of a project to create a resource for graduate students and speech-language pathologists new to the field on the wide range of communication disorders that exist. We have found that it has become a valued resource for many educators and family members of those with communication disorders as well. In this book, we provide a wealth of information about specific disorders in an easily accessible format. The collaborative efforts of our group of speech-language pathologists over the past three years have grown the project's resources into this book including, information on 24 communication disorders and related conditions. Our hope is to inform, educate and aid individuals with communication disorders, their families, and the people who work with them so they may receive impactful support and treatment. Knowledge is power! Who can benefit from using this book? Individuals seeking treatment and support for communication disorders and related conditions can use this book to become more informed about their condition and relevant resources. Parents and families supporting those with communication disorders can learn more about a specific condition and share information with those around them to become advocates for their loved ones. When caregivers have the information and education they need, they can more easily develop a positive outlook and provide better support for their family. Speech-language pathologists, educators, medical professionals, school personnel, social workers, and other professionals providing related support can find this book helpful in gaining additional knowledge, not only regarding the condition, but also the implications that communication deficits will have on the clients they serve.
