Editorial Reviews

Review

“Named to Doody’s Core Titles in the Health Sciences – Speech, Language & Hearing 2020 list.” —Doody’s (May 2020)

Originally published in German and translated to English:
“The present book is a comprehensive standard work in its 3rd edition, which was published more than 25 years after the first edition. It is aimed at all professional groups dealing with paediatric dysphagia, eating/drinking and feeding disorders. The content is divided into 13 chapters […] The chapters are supplemented by study sheets, templates for documentation and observation, and case studies. Of particular interest here is the approach as a “team evaluation” with a clear presentation from the different areas, whereby the team is composed differently depending on the case and inpatient and outpatient teams are also differentiated.”
—Annette Münsterer, in Forum Logopädie(July 2020)
