By Minnie S. Graham

The Clinician's Guide to Alaryngeal Speech Therapy is a practical, clinically oriented guide for the speech-language pathologist. This book shows the clinician how to effectively teach the use of the artificial larynx, esophageal speech, and tracheosophageal speech. The material is organized sequentially so the clinician can work step-by-step through the rehabilitation process. Clinical procedures covered in the handbook include preoperative consultation, intake interview and evaluation, oral
examination, the communication technique selection process, goal setting and lesson planning, report writing and record keeping, relaxation techniques, problem-solving strategies and progress, and post-therapy assessment.
