Designed for university-level students, INTRO delivers fundamental information about various communication disorders. This second edition is beautifully illustrated and written in an engaging, yet straightforward approach-with an overview of the formative history, as well as current theories and research provided for each disorder.. The sole authorship of the book ensures a uniform writing style, which is often missing from introductory texts. The book holds worldwide appeal and is written for an international audience. For some, this book may serve as a springboard for the pursuit of a career in audiology or speech-language pathology; nevertheless, every reader will acquire an appreciation of the gift of communication.
