Here's how to Do Therapy: Hands-on Core Skills in Speech- Language Pathology

Here's How to Do Therapy is designed as a sourcebook— an easy-to-read, easy-to-follow guide on conducting effective therapy sessions. The author provides practical applications of 28 underlying skills that are fundamental for therapy across a wide spectrum of communication disorders.

The author presents concepts, explanations, and strategies directly keyed to the therapy session. The text, highlighted with checklists and therapeutic-specific workshop forms, aids the reader to mastering skills that can be put to immediate use with clients. The book includes five scripted examples of therapy sessions (language, articulation, voice, resonance, and fluency).

A 50-minute DVD accompanies the book and adds significantly to the practical experience by presenting visual demonstrations of skills. One-to-three-minute vignettes give real-life examples. Two 10-minute sessions covering language-based therapy and traditional articulation therapy are also included.
