Readers will gain an understanding of the structure of different clinical practicum sites; principles of ethical practices; conduct, behavior, and competencies expected of them; justifiable expectations of their clinical supervisors; and the many fundamental principles of assessment and intervention across most disorders of communication.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into two sections: clinical practicum and clinical methods in speech-language pathology. These sections provide coverage of the structural and functional aspects of clinical practicum in a variety of settings.

The students will understand what is expected of them in each setting and what they can expect from their clinical supervisors.
