This introductory text is intended for undergraduate students who are interested in communication disorders and not just the professions of speech-language pathology and audiology. What is unique about this book is that each author addresses culturally and linguistically diverse aspects that impact each of the disorders. Not only will readers understand communication disorders, they will know what it means to have a communication/dialectal difference and how to differentiate between a difference and a true communication disorder. This information is infused into every chapter of the book. Study questions and websites of interest are also included in each of the chapters in case readers want to delve deeper into any of the chapter material.
