In this book, leading international scholars from various healthcare professions offer insight into optimal management methods for those with atypical communication conditions, including those with speech, language, and hearing impairments. The chapters provide guidance on optimal management strategies, real-life case examples, clinical recommendations, and recommended resources that are relevant to various healthcare professionals. This book is the first of its kind and supports inter-professional medical practices, making it a useful guide for anyone interested in clinical communication, diversity, or healthcare.
