Sourcebook for Assessing and Maintaining Communication (Spiral bound)

The second volume in the series, this volume is aimed at clients who have some, even if limited, motor control to enable hand pointing. It contains photocopiable exercises that can be handed to clients and carers to work on independently, with record sheets that can be easily filled in. The sourcebook contains: Oromotor exercises laid out in a clear format, with illustrations, enabling clients to work independently; record sheets to fill in on a daily basis; articulation sheets - speech sounds, including consonant clusters, of multi-syllabic words and tounge twisters; phrases of syllabic length are also included. Language assessments and screens for those reliant at a high level on hand pointing alone; an AAC screen with alphabet charts for direct access; and handouts to give to the client for awareness of their specific communication difficulties. Questionnaires and breathing and voice parameters includes breathing exercises and sheets relating to relaxation and posture, pitch, intonation and resonance exercises all to give to the client. Photocopiable record sheets for the client to fill in on how they rater their speech are also included.
