As a speech language pathologist are you asking yourself Where do I start? when it comes to assessing and addressing the needs of patients with tracheostomies. Especially when the patient is a child? Children with Tracheostomies Resource Guide is the first text to focus exclusively on the assessment and intervention methods particular to these younger patients. It assists the speech language pathologist in understanding the changing health and communication status of children with tracheostomy and suggests treatment approaches for both children with tracheostomy and those who are no longer tracheostomized but require on-going speech and language services. Written in straightforward language that clearly explains and defines difficult medical terminology while effectively integrating clinical and research information. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
