El arte de no encajar: Lo que pasa cuando el autismo llega a casa
by Noemí Navarro (@noemimisma)El libro testimonial de @Noemimisma Este es el libro que a Noemí le hubiera gustado tener entre las manos el día en que a su hijo Mateo le diagnosticaron TEA. Y el libro que la habría ayudado a entender su propio caso cuando, al cabo del tiempo, descubrió que también ella era una persona con autismo. ¿Cómo gestionar la incertidumbre? ¿Cómo afrontar el miedo que sientes como madre? ¿Cómo tratarlo con los hermanos? ¿Y con la pareja? ¿Qué decirle a la gente que quiere ayudar, pero no sabe cómo? ¿Qué recursos hay? Pero en él no solo nos habla de esta realidad, sino que hace un recorrido por su vida y su maternidad. En forma de entrevista, este potente memoir lleno de entresijos emocionales pretende inspirar y ayudar con herramientas y recursos a todos aquellos lectores que tengan cerca un ser querido neurodivergente, para que -como declara la autora- «hagan de la vida de ambos una vida plena».

by John E. Bernthal Nicholas W. Bankson Peter FlipsenThis is the leading text for courses in clinical phonology-thoroughly revised and updated to include the most current and up-to-date information in the field. Even the newly added subtitle,Speech Sound Disorders in Children, reflects recent changes in the field, including new terminology.

Articulation and Phonology In Speech Sound Disorders: A Clinical Focus
by Jacqueline Bauman-WaenglerThis comprehensive book ties strong academic foundations directly to their clinical application for speech/language therapists working with speech sound disorders. Each chapter presents tools to help readers bridge the gap between theoretical issues and clinical applications by presenting Clinical Applications, Clinical Exercises, Case Studies, and a section called Think Critically, which asks students to further apply specific clinical concepts. Test Yourself multiple choice questions appear at the end of each chapter and are ideal for review and assessment of the knowledge presented in the chapters, and Further Readings allow readers to continue to expand their knowledge. The new Fifth Edition of Articulation and Phonology in Speech Sound Disorders reflects the current use of the term "speech sound disorder," an umbrella term for what was previously noted as articulation- and phonemic-based disorders.
Artificial Parts, Practical Lives: Modern Histories of Prosthetics
by Katherine Ott David Serlin Stephen MihmThese essays are valuable first forays into the history of prosthetics. From the wooden teeth of George Washington to the Bly prosthesis, popular in the 1860s and boasting easy uniform motions of the limb, to today's lifelike approximations, prosthetic devices reveal the extent to which the evolution and design of technologies of the body are intertwined with both the practical and subjective needs of human beings. The peculiar history of prosthetic devices sheds light on the relationship between technological change and the civilizing process of modernity, and analyzes the concrete materials of prosthetics which carry with them ideologies of body, ideals, body politics, and culture. Simultaneously critiquing, historicizing, and theorizing prosthetics, Artificial Parts, Practical Lives lays out a balanced and complex picture of its subject, neither vilifying nor celebrating the merger of flesh and machine.
Arts and Humanities
by Dr Brenda Jo BrueggemannThis volume in The SAGE Reference Series on Disability explores the arts and humanities within the lives of people with disabilities. It is one of eight volumes in the cross-disciplinary and issues-based series, which incorporates links from varied fields making up Disability Studies as volumes examine topics central to the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. With a balance of history, theory, research, and application, specialists set out the findings and implications of research and practice for others whose current or future work involves the care and/or study of those with disabilities, as well as for the disabled themselves. The presentational style (concise and engaging) emphasizes accessibility. Taken individually, each volume sets out the fundamentals of the topic it addresses, accompanied by compiled data and statistics, recommended further readings, a guide to organizations and associations, and other annotated resources, thus providing the ideal introductory platform and gateway for further study. Taken together, the series represents both a survey of major disability issues and a guide to new directions and trends and contemporary resources in the field as a whole.

As I Live and Breathe: Notes of a Patient-Doctor
by Jamie WeismanFrom the Publisher: Jamie Weisman was a patient long before she was a doctor. She was born with a rare defect in her immune system that leaves her prey to a range of ailments and crises and that, because it is treatable but not curable, will keep her a patient for life. Her history has graced her with a deeper perspective -- a second sight, in a sense -- on the body itself, in all its frailty, glory, and irreducible mystery. In this probing and inspiring book, Weisman brings her sojourns on both sides of the doctor-patient divide to bear on the issues of the flesh that preoccupy us all. She considers the randomness of illness, and the fears and fortitude it calls forth in those it strikes. She weighs the economic and moral value of sustaining any given life. She explores the vulnerabilities of the body and of those who care for it, including their capacity for error. And she conveys, by eloquent example, that the only cure for the fear of death is living. As I Live and Breathe is a view of medicine from both sides of the trenches, embracing the patient's fervent desire for health and the doctor's fervent desire to grant it. It is a worthy addition to the best that has been written about our physical selves, a meditation on our extraordinary powers of healing and the limitations that leave intact the miracle and tragedy of being.
