“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.”</p> –<p><strong>-Brent L. Wiles, M.S., CCC-SL</strong>, University of South Alabama, <em>Doody’s Book Reviews</em> (April 2019)</p>
<p><i>”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.”</i></p> –<p><i> </i><b>-James M.
