Speech Pathology Books
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 got to the point where I almost couldn't bare to read speech pathology textbooks.
It must have been study fatigue.
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 look at a book - neither text book nor fiction book.
Times have changed. Most of the texts we'll look at on this page are books I refer to every other day.
So if any out there are interested in learning more about the ideas and principles on this website,
