Review :
Adrienne B. Hancock, PhD (George Washington University), Doody's Review Service, (2009): "The authors intend to present basic content in a dynamic framework to illustrate relationships and themes woven through many communication disorders. This unique take on perhaps the most basic content is refreshing and engaging. ... This book has a unique framework and presentation among introductory communication disorder texts. Students (majors and non-majors) would find it interesting and motivating."
