DESCRIPTION:
This comprehensive new book provides coverage of the motor speech, language and swallowing disorders associated with traumatic brain injury.
It also addresses recent research findings on the cognitive/linguistic deficits associated with traumatic brain injury and newly introduced physiological approaches to assessment and treatment of motor speech disorders.
