It also covers more recently recognised language disorders, such as Parkinsons and related diseases, right hemisphere damage, closed-head injury, dementia, etc.  This is a perfect text for practitioners who need to understand the integration of neuroanatomy and functional neurology with the practice of speech-language pathology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Neuroanatomical and neuropathological framework of speech and language 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Aphasia syndromes 47\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Subcortical aphasia syndromes 78\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Speech-language disorders associated with traumatic brain injury 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Language disorders subsequent to right-hemisphere lesions 153\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Language disturbances in dementia syndromes 176\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Language disorders associated with diseases of the cerebral white matter 202\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Neurological disturbances associated with aphasia 226\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Dysarthrias associated with upper and lower motor neurone lesions 244\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Dysarthrias associated with extrapyramidal syndromes 271\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Dysarthrias associated with lesions in other motor systems 303\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 Acquired childhood speech-language disorders 333\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 370\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eProfessor Bruce E.

The book provides a specific and thorough explanation of the neurological basis of speech and language deficits occurring subsequent to neurological diseases or brain injury. It provides comprehensive coverage of both the clinically recognized forms of aphasia and motor speech disorders, in both adults and children; as well as more recently recognized language disorders such as Parkinson’s and related diseases, right hemisphere damage, closedhead injury and dementia. Finally, in addition, recently-developed brain imaging methods such as MRI and PET are outlined and their implications for speech-language pathology discussed. The second edition of this important text has been thoroughly revised and updated with brand new material.","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988656406757,"sku":"NP9780470025673","price":88.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780470025673.jpg?v=1761781141","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/acquired-speech-and-language-disorders-isbn-9780470025673","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
