Customer Reviews

A terrific help for a speech pathology/audiology student

I bought this book for my daughter, who just changed majors as a junior from English to Speech Pathology/Audiology. I was very impressed when I got the book. It describes what you should be doing and organizations you should be joining for ever year along the way: freshman through grad school. It even presents charts about median salary you can expect. It gives extensive charts as aids for the reports and other projects you have to do as a student of this science. It also gives many resources in the back of the book about schools that offer this curricula. This book is a must-have for a speech path major or guidance counselor.
