First, this is an incredibly expensive textbook. Having said that, I am extremely disappointed in the number of errors that the editor missed. This text is difficult to read because the authors use acronyms throughout the book, some of which they created themselves. Unless you have an incredible memory you will find yourself going back to figure out what the authors are referring to.
Great book for the beginning learner who desires to be a Speech and Language Pathologist. This books reads extremely easy.
I purchased this book for my daughter who needed it rushed to her for her college course. It came to her very quickly over a holiday weekend. This book was in the college's bookstore but at a much more expensive price. Being a parent of a college student, cutting costs is very important to me and getting a discount on books is Awesome!!!
This book was a great price, far cheaper than my school's bookstore. There are no highlights, but a few ruffed up pages. But I am not complaining! All of the pages are in tact, and I'm so glad I bought it for a fraction of the original price I was going to have to pay, in combination with my other classes' requirements.
Good book! I was very interested in the subject and was sad when I had to return it after my rental period ended. I had used it for a class and it worked great. Very simple and easy to understand
This was the textbook for my Intro to Communication Disorders class. I think it goes into more detail than is necessary for an intro course, but it is an easy to read book.
This book is great when learning about communication disorders. It is a lot cheaper here than in the school bookstore. And this package arrived on time.
my professor said that there arent many good textbooks about communication disorders. this book is pretty clear and informative.
