This third edition retains the strong introduction to the study of human communication and its disorders across the life span.

The high-interest descriptions of communication disorders engage students planning to enter the field as well as non-majors who simply desire to better understand communication disorders.

Case illustrations, figures, and photographs are used liberally to illustrate concepts and place them in a clinical context.
