Product Description
Product Description
This book covers the anatomy, physiology and neuroscience relevant to the practice of speech and language therapy. It does so in sufficient detail to equip students with an understanding of the relevance of basic medical sciences to the clinical components of their courses. An overview of the major body systems and an outline of the structure and function of cells and pertinent tissues of the body is followed by more detailed descriptions of the structure and function of the nervous system, the respiratory system, the phonatory and articular apparatus and the ear. Their role in normal and abnormal speech and language is illustrated by clinical examples likely to be met in practice. The book will also act as a useful resource for experienced practitioners who wish to refresh or extend their knowledge of those basic sciences relevant to their specialities or as a prelude to undertaking specialised in–service study courses.

Format:Paperback
a fantastic book for anyone studying speech and language therapy. I have just completed my first year and couldnt have got by without this book, although the appendix doesnt contain everything the book actually does. It covers all areas from embrology to neuroanatomy and is explained in a simple language for everyone to understand whether you have studied anatomy at Alevel or not. It really is the little black book for speech and language therapists and i recommend all students to buy a copy it is more than worth the price.

As a practising SLT I occasionally need to refer to anatomy books even now, and have found this the be by far both the most comprehensible and the most comprehensive.
It is clear and well-illustrated with a very readable text.
I would recommend any student to get a copy, and all University Libraries offering Speech as an option to get several copies.

Format:Paperback
I'm a Speech and Language Therapy student and I've found this book really useful for all the biological and medical aspects of the course. It covers loads of different topics in a good amount a detail (not overly technical, but detailed enough). The bits I've read so far seem mainly anatomy and physiology based, rather than about disorders (e.g. it describes the structure and function of the ear, but not much on hearing impairment). There's also good diagrams in it. I think it'll be a handy one to keep for looking up things in the future.
Listmania!
