Intro: A Guide to Communication Sciences and Disorders

by Michael P. Robb

Designed for university-level students, INTRO delivers fundamental information about various communication disorders. This second edition is beautifully illustrated and written in an engaging, yet straightforward approach-with an overview of the formative history, as well as current theories and research provided for each disorder.. The sole authorship of the book ensures a uniform writing style, which is often missing from introductory texts. The book holds worldwide appeal and is written for an international audience. For some, this book may serve as a springboard for the pursuit of a career in audiology or speech-language pathology; nevertheless, every reader will acquire an appreciation of the gift of communication.

Read this for my Intro to Communication Disorders course and gained a lot from it. The language is accessible for a beginner to the topic and the writing is rarely dry like normal texts.

A very good survey on the subject. I was required to read this as a textbook for a college course, so it wasn't a "thrilling" read, but I still enjoyed learning the material. Pretty good, as textbooks go.
