Evidence Based Practice in Speech Pathology

Published by: Whurr Publishers, London, 2004

Edited by: Sheena Reilly, Jacinta Douglas and Jenni Oates

The book is applicable to speech pathologists at any stage of their clinical career, as well as being of use to speech pathology students and other health care professionals.

The book is organized into three sections. In part one, the subject of evidence based practice is introduced. Its application to the profession of speech pathology is addressed, and types and levels of evidence are described. Part two focuses on a number of sub-specialist areas of speech pathology practice (dysphagia; paediatric motor speech disorders; aphasia; voice; paediatric language and AAC). In the third section of the book, the authors demonstrate how to apply the principles of evidence based practice to clinical practice, to research and education.
