Anatomy & Physiology for Speech, Language, and Hearing / Edition 4

by J. Anthony Seikel, Douglas W. King, David G. Drumright

Overview

Now in its fourth edition, ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY FOR SPEECH, LANGUAGE AND HEARING remains a highly acclaimed tool for instilling a solid foundation in the anatomical and physiological principles that pertain to the communication sciences and disorders disciplines. Updated to reflect the most current trends in the field, the book integrates clinical information with everyday experiences to underscore the relevance of anatomy and physiology to the speech, language, and hearing systems. Its effectiveness is enhanced with innovative student practice software, which provides multiple tutorial and quizzing sections and provides students with the final pieces needed to master the book s content.

About the Author

J. Anthony (Tony) Seikel, Ph.D., is professor of communication sciences and disorders at Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. His research interests center on the relationship of pathology to acoustics and perception, as well as improving pedagogy through technology. He has recently been studying the relationship between oromyofunctional disorders and oropharyngeal dysphagia. He earned his B.S. in Speech and Hearing from Phillips University, his M.A. in Speech Pathology from Wichita State University, and a Ph.D. in Speech and Hearing Science from the University of Kansas.


David G. Drumright is a programmer and teacher in Spokane, Washington. He has taught electronics at numerous schools and has a background in speech-language pathology and audiology. His software includes the original ANIMA programs of this text, the new ANATESSE application, AUDIN software for audiology instruction, and several other instructional tools.


Douglas W. King, Ph.D., was a professor within the basic medical program at Washington State University until his death in 2001. He was greatly loved by his students and fellow faculty, and had set up a scholarship program in anatomy for students with diabetes.

Editorial Reviews

"Over all the editions of this text, the authors have produced a near perfect balance of not too simple, not too complex . The content areas are of sufficient depth for undergraduate students to be challenged, but not unduly overwhelmed."-Michael Blomgren, Associate Professor, University of Utah
