New Areas Have Been Explored, And New Techniques Presented

".....Speech, Language, and Hearing are fields of never-ending research. NEW AREAS HAVE BEEN EXPLORED, AND NEW TECHNIQUES PRESENTED. It became imperative that we publish a fourth edition if we were to continue our original purpose to "provide a comprehensive dictionary/sourcebook containing definitions of the terminology in the fields of Speech, Language, and Hearing professions."....." [from the book of preface by L.N., E.H., J.K.]

Can't Live Without It (but using 4th edition)

This was the first book I ever purchased in SLP. My prof instructed us to buy for building our professional library. At the time, I thought THANKS A LOT. I thought I had just wasted money on a book I didn't need for the class. Since that time, I have used this book for countless term papers, clinical reports, cross referencing more difficult texts, and looking up spellings regularly. My addition has several developmental charts and testing indexes. My only complaint is that the more medicaly based terminology is missing(ie: the anatomical structures are realy just the greatest hits of the larynx and brain, and I am a bit lost when it comes to none SLP or AUD measures at the hospital rotations). I hope this has been improved for the new edition, but at the same time would hate it to become to cumbersome to use. I am nearing the end of my Masters' and coming up on the Praxis exam. I intend to use this as a way to study across several topics in the field. All in all a GREAT REFERENCE!
