About The Book
Includes Videos!
The new and significantly updated third edition of Here’s How to Do Therapy: Hands-On Core Skills in Speech-Language Pathology is an essential resource on effective evidence-based interventions for both practicing clinicians and students in academic speech-language pathology programs. Unique in design and content, the book and online supplementary materials provide a logical and manageable approach to enhance clinical skills through guided practice for different types of communication disorders.
Part I presents the basic considerations and foundations of the therapeutic process. Twenty-eight fundamental therapeutic skills are presented in a “workshop format” using organizers, definitions/demonstrations, think-out-loud questions, prompts for practice, post-organizers, and more. Readers are guided through a process for learning and demonstrating each of the 28 specific skills through use of three tools: Therapeutic-Specific Workshop Forms, Video Vignettes, and one Mini-Therapy Session.
Part II of the text contains seven Guided Practice chapters, with selected concepts and scripted examples of therapy sessions for receptive and expressive language, social communication for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), articulation and phonology, voice, swallowing, resonance, and adult cognitive communication.
New to the Third Edition
- Two new Guided Practice chapters: one on adult cognitive disorders and one on dysphagia/swallowing disorders
- Additional information on cultural and linguistic diversity, telepractice, AAC, phonological processes, and social communication for children with ASD
- Expanded focus on evidence-based practice
- A PluralPlus companion website with supplementary materials, including video demonstrations, printable forms, and PowerPoint lecture slides for instructors
About The Author
Debra M. Dwight, EdD, CCC-SLP, is an Alabama native and received a bachelor’s degree in Speech Therapy and a master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from the University of South Alabama (South), Mobile. While at South, she studied speech and language therapy and combined typical developmental expectations of children with needs of children with speech and language disorders. Her master’s and doctoral degrees in Speech-Language Pathology were received from the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, where she developed an interest in clinical teaching. Although she worked as a college/university faculty member in different positions over the past ten years, Dr. Dwight describes herself as a clinical practitioner due to her constant desire to impact the quality of service delivery in the speech-language profession. She has worked as a speech-language pathologist in public schools, home health, private practice, and skilled nursing facilities. Dr. Dwight has served as a coordinator of special programs , college/university instructor, and assistant professor. She was Director of Speech-Language Pathology Programs at University of West Georgia, Carrollton, when the program received initial certification from the Council on Academic Accreditation (CAA) of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and she now serves as a Site Visitor for CAA. Debra currently is owner of a small private practice for children’s therapy services. Her desire to improve the quality of services provided by speech-language professionals led her to develop a practical method for teaching basic, hands-on, core skills to university students majoring in speech-language pathology.
