I read this for my CSD 270 class! Very informative textbook and I enjoyed reading and learning more about communication disorders to the extent the book talked about. Well written and quite interesting for a textbook!

This textbook provided a thorough overview of the communication sciences and disorders field of study. I am excited to delve into classes that will expand on what I learned from this book.

I read an entire 550 page textbook in 3 weeks so yes I am going to include it in my gd reading challenge. As a textbook idk it was fine. Very nice broad overview of what speech language pathologists look at. Almost too much info because for e.g. it covered an entire semester of LING 101 in three pages. Come on.
