It is vital to have knowledge of the neuroanatomical structures and functional neurological mechanisms, which are disrupted in neurogenic speech/language, disordered persons in order to understand the speech/language deficits themselves. 
This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the neurological basis of both the clinically recognised forms of aphasia and the various motor speech disorders, in both children and adults. It also covers more recently recognised language disorders, such as Parkinsons and related diseases, right hemisphere damage, closed-head injury, dementia, etc. This is a perfect text for practitioners who need to understand the integration of neuroanatomy and functional neurology with the practice of speech-language pathology.

This book provides comprehensive coverage of speech and language disorders arising from pathological processes involving the subcortical structures of the brain. It gives an understanding of these disorders in terms of their neuropathological basis, clinical symptomatology and prognosis. A full discussion of contemporary models and theories of subcortical participation in speech and language processing is given, including discussion of the possible roles of structures such as the basal ganglia, subthalamic nucleus, thalamus and cerebellum. 
The book covers speech and language disorders associated with a variety of subcortical conditions, ranging from major degenerative conditions such as Parkinsons’ Disease, Huntington’s chorea and dystonia, through to acquired non-degenerative subcortical lesions arising from, for example, cerebrovascular accidents and sterotactic surgically induced lesions. In addition, a full description of the relevant assessment and treatment procedures currently recommended for use for each of the subcortical communication disorders is given.

Speech and Language Disorders Associated with Subcortical Pathology

Acquired Neurological Speech/Language Disorders In Childhood (Brain, Behaviour and Cognition)

The long-held belief that acquired aphasia in children is primarily of the non-fluent type has been challenged in recent years. This book discusses language problems arising from cerebro-vascular accidents occurring in childhood, and from other

CRC-Press

This book discusses the demonstrable presence of a cerebral insult and explains subjects where the lesion occurred both before and after language development. It is helpful for undergraduates, postgraduates, clinicians and researchers in psychology, speech pathology and medicine.

Children's Books

Provides comprehensive coverage of acquired motor speech and language disorders occurring in children in terms of their neuropathological basis, neurology, clinical symptomatology, prognosis, assessment, and treatment. The authors take a disease-specific approach, a comprehensive range of the childhood neurological conditions most commonly encountered clinically by speech-language pathologists covering traumatic brain injury,

Brain-Based Communication Disorders introduces the reader to the major clinically recognized types of acquired speech/language, cognitive, and swallowing disorders encountered by clinicians working with child and adult neurological cases. The text provides contemporary and state-of-the-art content on these disorders in terms of their neuropathological bases, clinical symptomatology, and prognosis. Basic anatomy and physiology of human communication and swallowing is introduced, as well as the neural mechanisms controlling speech, language, cognitive, and swallowing functions. In addition to the traditional acquired speech/language disorders of the nervous system (aphasia; neuromotor speech disorders) content including communication impairments caused by traumatic brain injury, multisystem blast injuries, and degenerative disorders of the nervous system is also provided. The reader is also introduced to the principles that govern the assessment and treatment for both pediatric and adult populations. No other book on the market provides a first year level coverage of the range of acquired neurological speech/language disorders like Brain-Based Communication Disorders. Relevant video clips supplement the text with real world illustrations. This book offers updated clinical management information useful for both the clinician in training and experienced practicing clinicians.

LaPointe, Leonard L.

Stierwalt, Julie A. G., Ph.D.

This book is the first to provide comprehensive coverage of the communication impairments that occur in association with multiple sclerosis. It covers not only the more widely recognised motor speech disorders seen in association with this condition, but also the more recently identified language disorders reported to occur in persons with diseases of the cerebral white matter. A full description of the neuropathophysiology, epidemiology, aetiology, clinical manifestations and medical treatment of multiple sclerosis is also included.
