Summary

An excellent resource from the author team of Klein and Moses, this book explores the decision-making process involved in clinical intervention planning across categories of children's communication disorders. It considers the question, "What should I do first in therapy?" and the need to conceptualize an overall intervention plan before addressing the client's first session. Content in the book is organized according to three phases of intervention planning -- long-term, short-term, and session. Problem solving and decision making evolve within and across these phases of intervention planning.

FEATURES

- Case studies of four children with different types of speech/language disorders: language, phonology, fluency, and voice.

- Explores two timely clinical issues: collaboration with allied professionals and caretakers as well as supervision.

- Contains management planning and collaboration forms and sources from the literature that suggest sequences of objectives for reaching long- and short-term goals.
