Survival Guide for the Beginning Speech-Language Clinician, Second Edition
will guide you when taking your first clinical steps toward a career as
a speech-language pathologist. Graduate and undergraduate students, as
well as beginning therapists, will find this book useful and
easy-to-understand. It provides realistic, practical, and comprehensive
overviews of clinical problems that are often encountered by beginning
clinicians and offers solutions to those problems. It also prepares you
for what you will experience along the way. This text does not focus on
the numerous principles and theories which underlie various aspects of
the clinical process because these are thoroughly covered in
undergraduate and graduate courses.

The second edition has
expanded and updated information on many topics, including parent
conferences and the concomitant reports, group therapy and play therapy,
preparing for public schools, and more. Writing quality reports remains
a major focus of the book. Drawing on her more than 30 years of
experience, the author teaches the ins and outs of report writing. She
provides many real-world examples of reports, showing what to do and
what not to do.

You'll make the transition from theory
to practice much easier using this book as your guide. Let this book
help you avoid common pitfalls and provide you with a solid foundation
for your practice from the very first day in the clinic.
