ABOUT THIS BOOK
Any condition that affects one’s ability to detect, receive, send, processes, or comprehend various aspects of language—both verbal and nonverbal—may lead to communication disabilities. They can impair the hearing, voice, speech, language, cognition, and learning abilities of a person. The causes of such impairments are unknown in most cases. According to the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), about five percent of children by first grade have noticeable speech disorders. It is important to identify anyone experiencing communication challenges and to address them at the right time in the right way. If not, evidence shows that the person may be burdened with additional issues, such as stress, depression, and isolation.
Communication Disabilities Sourcebook, First Edition explains what voice, speech, and language are and how communication disorders may develop in a person. Various types of communication disabilities and their impact on the personal, social, and economic well-being of a person are discussed. It offers information about recovery models and rehabilitation techniques, along with the rights and benefits of people with communication disabilities. The book concludes with a list of resources for additional help and information.
