Correlated with clinical syndromes and diseases seen in SLP, it gives you a solid understanding of the nervous system, including development of the nervous system, organization of the brain, protective mechanisms, descending motor and ascending sensory pathways, and cranial nerves.
- Case studies and clinical applications provide students with realistic diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
- Complex information is clearly presented in a concise, easy-to-understand manner.
- Clinical emphasis throughout makes this text valuable as students move into professional practice and prepare for the Praxis exam.
- Evolve companion website has vocabulary flashcards and study questions with answers so students can assess their knowledge.
- Key terms in each chapter and an end-of-text glossary give students easy access to accurate, concise definitions.
