It is often used as a textbook for courses in professional writing, clinical methods, and professional issues.

The authors cover a spectrum of subjects related to professional writing, including

ethics of professional writing
use of the library
use and abuse of the Internet
writing for oral presentations
writing diagnostic reports

The authors have added content in grammar and rules of writing and increased the number of practice questions and writing exercises in all chapters. They also included new information to reflect changes in the most recent ASHA Code of Ethics as well as changes in the Graduate Record Exam and Praxis Exam. The user-friendly PluralPlus companion website includes materials for students and instructors.

“I recommend this book to any instructor, student, or practicing clinician in the fields of speech pathology and audiology. The thorough and field-specific nature of this book are valuable assets and will enable readers to markedly improve their professional writing. It is a useful resource for any speech pathologist’s or audiologist’s bookshelf.” –-Brent L. Wiles, M.S., CCC-SL, University of South Alabama, Doody’s Book Reviews (April 2019)

”I selected this textbook for my Professional Issues course because it is a comprehensive presentation of those aspects of the professions that affect the lives and the practice of speech-language pathologists and audiologists today. The authors provide the most current information in the areas of service delivery, employment, workplace challenges, ethics, legislation, technology, and advocacy. The authors use clear language and provide detailed explanations relevant to each topic. I have been using this textbook since its second edition (Lubinski & Frattali, 2001) when I moved from clinical work to academia. It was, and still is, the best book on the market in this topic area.” – -James M. Mancinelli, PhD, CCC-SLP, Assistant Professor, Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, La Salle University
