Recenzje

'Cummings constructed the chapters to be reference-like and clinically informative, including sections on epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, prognosis, language-communication profile, phonology, morphology and syntax, vocabulary and semantics, and speech-language pathology-and each chapter includes suggested readings and exercises. Notably, the sequence of elements is intuitive and invites readers to move effortlessly between the separate diagnoses … Recommended.' L. R. Barley, Choice
