Speech Pathology Books. Language intervention texts I like to read.
Speech pathology books have been a sore point for me in the past.
It's a funny thing, but when I was a
speech pathology student, towards the end of the course, I couldn't stand to look at speech pathology textbooks.
Four years of searching bug-eyed through textbooks in the early hours can do that to a person. It got so bad
that even months after I graduated I couldn't even look at a book.
But, I got better...
Nowadays I tend to enjoy reading language intervention texts. That's nerdy and uncool, I know. But nobody's perfect.
Most of the texts we'll look at on this page are books I refer to just about everyday.
So if any out there are interested in learning more about the ideas and principles on this website,
then do follow the links to the review pages.
Because truly, all of the reviewed books, in one way or another, altered the way I work - for the better I believe - as a speech pathologist.
