About this title

Review:

Review of the best selling first edition: "The How to Do Therapy text is an excellent tool...I wish it would have been available when I was a beginning clinician...and it is even good reading for a seasoned clinician!" --Mandie Harris, Oklahoma State University

Review of the best selling first edition: "The book has helped the undergraduate student better grasp the concept of beginning therapy in the general setting. The book is exquisitely plotted out in steps to take before one begins actual therapy. Here s How to Do is a wonderful resource for beginning Speech-Language Pathology students. This book helps guide students by giving explicit examples of what to say and how to react to certain surprises in the therapy session. Dr. Dwight also gives excellent guide with the vignettes." --Allison Spitznagel, University of West Georgia

Review of the best selling first edition: "Dr. Debra Dwight s book, Here s How to Do Therapy: Hands-On Core Skills in Speech-Language Pathology, is a very useful resource for the student Speech-Language Pathologist. It focuses on different therapy techniques and provides workshops so that the student can try his/her hand at different techniques. As a student, I have never used a textbook that provides so much detail and so many opportunities for application in and outside the classroom. I found the book to be practical and easy to read, and I know that I will frequently refer to it once I begin working as a Speech-Language Pathologist. I would recommend this book to any student who is interested in the field of Speech-Language Pathology." --Sarah M. Payne, University of West Georgia
