  • Provides resources which direct clinicians to additional information.
  • Infuses non-standardized testing issues into every chapter.

  • New sections on Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) as it applies to diagnosis and evaluation.
  • Now includes standardized, non-standardized, and functional outcome measures for most disorders as part of the assessment paradigm of the Impairment-Disability-Handicap model advocated by the World Health Organization.
  • The topics in each chapter are now linked to ASHA Professional Practice Patterns in assessment for every disorder.
  • Includes more Figures and Tables to facilitate student learning and conceptualization of the assessment process.
  • Updated references for every chapter.
