Website needs attention by Katharine Dean  3 Stars
November 22, 2009
Clearly written and concise in the book, but the online portion has some major problems: hints for the practice questions direct the user to unrelated pages in unread chapters, and some answers are switched so a student who supplies the correct answer appears to get it wrong.

I liked this book.. by Deborah  4 Stars
October 10, 2008
I took a class at college about communication disorders and the professor used this book. I didn't pick up on any bias or negativity like the previous raters stated. I haven't read the whole book but it's basically an introductory book about communication disorders and the book helps you to understand why different disorders are classified and diagnosed the way they are. I probably would not buy this book for reading on vacation but the class I took was interesting and this booked helped me to clarify some of the concepts that we were learning. A good introductory book about the subject, I think.
