This book presents a variety of dilemmas that highlight the breadth and complexity of speech and language therapy and provides guidance for ethically informed clinical decision making. Realistic case studies written by a range of speech and language therapists from around the globe examine the decision-making process in speech and language therapy, providing a careful balance of clinical knowledge and expertise along with addressing the priorities and needs of the individual, and wider ethical considerations. Students and educators can debate real dilemmas faced by clinicians, taking diverse values and theoretical models into account to foster students' learning development. An invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students and lecturers in speech and language therapy programmes and clinical educators on placement.
