Practitioners are still evaluating their role in working with the learning disabled, and are trying to develop appropriate models of assessment and intervention.  \u003cp\u003eThis book is intended to aid speech therapists in this task by providing ideas based on an ideology in keeping with the current trends in services to people with learning difficulties. After critically examining existing methods, the authors draw on their combined experience in linguistics and ethnography to provide a rationale and operational guidelines to deal with assessment, intervention, establishing criteria for entry to and exit from therapy, developing shared perspectives and manipulating the environment in order to facilitate communications in context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe concluding part of the book looks at service provision in health, education, social services and private establishments, suggesting ways in which speech therapists may best utilize their skills and time in these settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePart I.  \u003cp\u003eCurrent Issues in Assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIssues in Assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCommunicaiton Assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRecent Developments in Communication Assessment and intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart II.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCurrent Issues in Management.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIssues in Intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIssues in Service Delivery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIssues in Service Delivery - 2.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart III.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFuture directions.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn Integrated Model of Communication Assessment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResearch directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Other branches of medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Other branches of medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Other%20branches%20of%20medicine%20%5BMM%5D%22\"\u003eMM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52501432008984,"sku":"9781870332279","price":58.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781870332279.jpg?v=1786238294","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/communication-and-adults-with-learning-disabilities-paperback-softback-9781870332279","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
