Communication Disorders in Turkish cover

This volume is the first to deal with Turkish communicative development and disorders, reflecting the use of Turkish by a sizeable population in multilingual settings in Europe, USA, and Australia. In addition to Speech-language Pathologists, the book will be of interest to professionals from related fields such as clinical linguistics, psychology, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, audiology, and special education. This book presents a compendium of information about the profession of speech-language pathology, cultural differences, assessment materials and research done in communication disorders in Turkey. It also covers acquisition and disorders in multilingual contexts where there is significant Turkish immigration.

Communication Disorders in Turkish is the most comprehensive overview of this topic ever written. Each chapter author has skillfully translated research to guide clinical practice. Speech-language pathologists and audiologists within Turkey, and in the many countries where Turkish people live, will find the breadth and depth of information to be impressive.

Communication Disorders in Turkish elevates the field of speech-language pathology for Turkish-speaking individuals to a new level. The book will certainly become a mainstay resource for speech-language pathologists, educational audiologists, and even deaf educators who care for Turkish-speaking children and adults with speech or language disorders and differences. It will also appeal to clinical and scientific professionals across the international community, especially those in Europe, Australia, and North America, where millions of bilingual Turkish families have made their homes.
