Many communication disorders are poorly understood and many
treatments used in therapy remain unproven. Speech and Language
therapists are increasingly involved in research in these areas but
may lack the training and experience required to conduct it. Not
the least of their problems is that few textbooks discuss the
specific problems of research design in communication disorders.
treatments used in therapy remain unproven. Speech and Language
therapists are increasingly involved in research in these areas but
may lack the training and experience required to conduct it. Not
the least of their problems is that few textbooks discuss the
specific problems of research design in communication disorders.
Research Methods in Speech and Language Therapy fills this gap.
It will serve as an introductory text for students who are training
to be therapists and as an introduction to more advanced methods
for clinicians involved in research. Different approaches to
research are described and the basic principles of research design
and statistical analysis described.
The book uses a wide range of published research to illustrate
how research may be conducted in these areas and gives particular
attention to the problems of researching the effectiveness of
therapy.
