Through the medium of detailed clinical case reports, written by
well-respected clinicians and researchers working internationally in the
field, Clinical Cases in Dysarthria discusses the challenges, and
rewards of applying evidence-based procedures to people with dysarthria
in real-life busy routine clinical settings.
The text opens with an introduction to the latest research and practices
within dysarthria treatment and sets the scene for the eight individual
case reports which follow. These case reports form the core chapters of
the text and cover themes that range from clinical diagnostic conundrums
to applying popular, and/or novel intervention approaches to different
populations where dysarthria presents. Each chapter has a specific
argument drawing on theoretical principles of assessment and
rehabilitation, incorporating latest research evidence to help readers
problem-solve similar cases in their clinical practice. Throughout the
text, readers are encouraged to 'think outside the box'.
This book will be essential for undergraduate and postgraduate student
clinicians within speech and language therapy/pathology courses, as well
as clinicians new to the field of dysarthria.
