Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Navigating Aphasia is like having an expert clinical mentor sitting with you, guiding from each page about working empathically and holistically with people with aphasia and their families. Tessa Ackerman generously shares her deep clinical experience through this book. She has organised her "100 useful points" into 10 chapters addressing often asked questions about understanding, assessing and managing aphasia. She accompanies practical information with useful contemporary references, resources, links, and frameworks. There is much wisdom in this small book. If you buy a hard copy of anything, this is a good choice; keep it in your work bag and expect it to be well-thumbed and dog-eared before long." - Deborah Hersh, Professor of Speech Pathology, Curtin University, Australia.
"Part of Routledge's "Navigating Speech and Language Therapy" series, this guide is a practical handbook for students and newly qualified speech and language therapists working with people with aphasia. As well as covering the understanding of and approaches to assessment and management of aphasia, it offers straightforward tips and advice on developing rapport and framing key messages, for example about recovery. It succeeds in delivering a comprehensive yet concise and accessible basic guide to aphasia management, as well as demystifying how one deals with more challenging clinical scenarios. This book will prove an invaluable foundation for building clinical skills." - Louise Lander, Highly Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, Moor Green Outpatient Brain Injury Unit, Birmingham Community Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust
