Description

For the past twenty years, Spreen and Risser have episodically reviewed the state of aphasia assessment in contemporary clinical practice. This book represents their most thorough effort. Taking a flexible assessment approach, the authors present dozens of tests for traditional use in the diagnosis of aphasia and in functional communication, childhood language development, bilingual testing, pragmatic aspects of language in everyday life, and communication problems in individuals with head injury or with lesions of the right hemisphere. The book is a thorough and practical resource for speech and language pathologists, neuropsychologists, and their students and trainees.

Reviews

"Assessment of Aphasia consists of short, easily digested chapters that cover the basics of both test construction and assessment principles in general, with descriptions of an admirably thorough list of tests for use in children, adults, and populations with unique considerations." --JINS
