Clinical Computing Competency for Speech-Language Pathologists

This practical volume presents speech-language pathologists with specific suggestions and strategies for computer use. Rather than focusing on particular computer technologies or the administrative applications of computers, the book emphasizes the importance of learning how to use computers and applications during assessment and intervention activities with clients. The book informs clinicians about research regarding clinical computer applications, provides examples and models of how others have used new technologies effectively, and encourages clinicians to explore new ways of using computers for the benefit of their clients. The book includes the names of specific software programs that are useful and gives demonstrations of how to use the programs, using sample dialogues and sample client work.
