Clinical Observation: A Guide for Students in Speech, Language, and Hearing provides structure and focus for
students completing pre-clinical or early clinical observation as required by the American Speech-Language-Hearing
Association (ASHA). Whether used in a course on observation and clinical processes, or as a self-guide to the observation
process, this practical hands-on workbook will give a clear direction for guided observations and provide students
with an understanding of what they are observing, why it is relevant, and how these skills serve as a building-block
to their future role as clinicians. With clear and concise language, this reader friendly guide includes a quick
review of background knowledge for each aspect of the clinical process, exercises and activities to check understanding
and guide observation, and questions for reflection to help students apply their observation to their current studies
and their future work as speech-language pathologists. This journaling process will help students connect what
they observe with the knowledge they have gained from classes, textbooks, and journal articles. Thought provoking
activities may be completed, revisited, and redone, and multiple activities are provided for each observation.
This is a must-have resource for supervisors, students, and new clinicians.Clinical Observation: A Guide for Students
