Summary:

This book bridges the gap in the literature on Hispanic individuals
for student clinicians and professionals in Speech-Language
Pathology/Speech Therapy. It links empirical and theoretical bases to
evidence-based practices for child and adult Spanish users. This
volume provides both students and licensed professionals in
speech-language pathology much-needed multidisciplinary bases to
implement clinical services with Spanish speakers. Researchers and
practitioners from Speech-Language Pathology, Neurolinguistics,
Neuropsychology, Education, and Clinical Psychology provide
theoretical and empirical grounds to develop evidence-based clinical
procedures for monolingual Spanish and bilingual Spanish-English
children and adults with communication disorders.
