Overview
Communication Disorders in Aging provides an in-depth look at communication disorders affecting older adults and their daily lives. Students and professionals will benefit from this text's unique coverage of specific disorders, such as dementia and Parkinson's Disease, and the corresponding treatment, counseling, and impact on family life.
No other book offers such a specific focus on older adult communication disorders. This focus applies to a wide variety of professions and courses, especially those involved with audiology, speech-language pathology, gerontology, geriatric medicine, counseling psychology, family counseling, psychiatry, primary care medicine, nursing, geriatric nurse practice, rehabilitative medicine, and other related fields.
Leading experts have contributed to Communication Disorders in Aging by sharing their knowledge in caring services and strategies. These contributions make the text multidisciplinary and critical to those serving or preparing to serve the growing population of older adults.
Review
Joseph P. Pillion, Director of Audiology, Kennedy Krieger Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD, USA, International Journal of Audiology (April 2018):
"Overall, the book will serve as a valuable resource for speech language, audiology, and students in training for other health care professions in communication disorders associated with aging. It is generally well written in language that will be well received by students in the health sciences and potentially by families in search of information on a communication disorder impacting on an aging family member."
