expressing feelings and needs, meeting people, hidden messages, etc. The
important explanations and tips on improving all these aspects of
communications will be of tremendous benefit to parents, caregivers, and

teaches students when they are to be used! Teachers will find the model

contexts, and direct teaching techniques are minimized. There are dozens of
interactive activities and illustrations.

Drawing on cognitive psychology, psycholinguistics,

status of knowledge about right hemisphere communication disorders and the

evaluation and management based on theory, data, logic, and patients'
communicative needs; and charges clinicians to become critical evaluators of
the literature and their own treatment plans and procedures.

expressions, to space and touch, to gestures and postures. They also discuss
how nonverbal language can be taught in a classroom setting.
