Basic Speech Therapy Skills

The best-selling book Here’s how to do Therapy: Hands-on core skills in Speech-Language Pathology has been released in a new revised second edition, now in Greek entitled Basic Speech Therapy Skills. Unique in design and content, this book and accompanying DVD provide a sensible and reasoned approach to therapy and help students and therapists make alternate basic guided practice in speech therapy.

The 28 basic therapeutic skills are presented "in the form of a laboratory" using organizational charts, clarifications / demonstrations, questions, practice issues, post-organizational charts and much more. This second edition contains a new chapter focusing on the "valuable milestone scenario" in the speech and language therapy learning strategy and 18 detailed in-class activities for clinical instructors and supervisors.

The 80-minute DVD provides functionally significant changes in the aspects of supervision by utilizing this text through the presentation of visual demonstrations of basic therapeutic skills. The 1 to 3 minute videos give students a picture of the session with real-life examples of these skills, while the two extensive videotaped sessions present the basics of a treatment, emphasizing speech therapy intervention for the joint and language structures.

The book Basic Speech Therapy Skills is an ideal reference project with results both in clinical practice and the management of a session, as well as in their adoption by clinicians in speech therapy intervention.
