Speech-language Pathology: A Simplified Guide to Structures, Functions, and Clinical Implications

Front Cover
This text is the second edition of Anatomy and Physiology in Speech and Hearing, first published in 1984 by College Hill Press. It serves as a general introductory text, primarily for undergraduates. Its goal is to bridge the gap between the anatomy and physiology and the clinical practice of speech. It concentrates on fundamentals and thus may also be used as a reference for therapists in the public school setting. This edition includes expanded clinical considerations and references, with the addition of a self-examination section at the end of each chapter.
