"Understanding the recent science about how therapy changes the brain can empower clinicians to face the challenges of increasingly demanding medical and educational settings. However, many speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are unaware of the vast impact new neuroscience research has on clinical practice. Cognitive and Communication Interventions: Neuroscience Applications for Speech-Language Pathologists is a practical guide which informs and enables SLP's, clinical psychologists, and other therapeutic professionals to use new research to enhance their clinical outcomes"-- Provided by publisher.
