Synopsis

This course textbook is designed to be used as a companion book to the standard textbooks on aphasia and neurogenic communication disorders. Its design allows students to take notes from instructors' lectures to augment the condensed information presented in the coursebook. This allows the students to focus more of their attention on lectures as technical terms, definitions, and major points common to most aphasia courses are already included in this text. The topics covered in the coursebook mirror the syllabi of aphasia and neurogenic communication disorders courses beginning with an historical overview of aphasia, neurophysiological considerations, neurodiagnostic methods and neuropathology of aphasia, classification, and assessment and treatment of aphasia. It also covers key information on right hemisphere syndromes, traumatic brain injury, and dementia. Instructors should find the coursebook easy to use and a major timesaver in their preparation of lectures. Combined with a core textbook, this coursebook rounds out a complete instructional package for aphasia courses.
