Cochran (communication disorders, Truman State U., Kirksville, Missouri) has published and presented extensively on the clinical use of computers and how to integrate them into teaching and intervention. In this text, she helps preservice and in-service speech-language pathologists learn how to use new technologies effectively in speech and language assessment and intervention activities. Coverage includes an overview of ten key clinical computing competencies—such as using a computer as an instructor, as a context for conversation, to generate therapy materials, as a feedback device—followed by practical explanations of how to master the competencies.
