\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGoal-Setting in Speech-Language Pathology: A Guide to Clinical Reasoning\u003c/em\u003e is the first textbook of its kind on evidence-based clinical decision-making for speech-language pathologists (SLPs). The goal of this text is to fill a pedagogical need for an efficient tool that teaches clinical reasoning to guide treatment planning. There are a number of existing resources in speech-language pathology that describe the how-to of writing goals, but not the clinical decision-making thought process behind the formulation of patient-centered goals. The text strives to address the knowledge gap in clinical learning environments across the scope of learners. Written for graduate-level students in clinical methods courses, it will also be an invaluable resource for novice SLP clinicians.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis functional, concise text for clinical coursework or practice explicitly defines the decision-making process used by experienced clinicians from referral to the creation of patient-centered goals. The contents include (1) the purpose for a decision-making framework grounded in both the science of learning and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association\u0026rsquo;s (ASHA) clinical competencies, (2) a description of data used in the clinical reasoning process, (3) presentation and discussion of the framework.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eConcise and readily accessible, making it easy to integrate into a single-semester course that only spends a few weeks on clinical decision-making\u003c/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eServes as a practical how-to guide that uses systematic instruction with hands-on, real-world practice opportunities to teach students and young clinicians the application of clinical\u0026nbsp;concepts\u003c/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIncludes dynamic in-text case studies\u003c/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eWritten by authors with a wealth of clinical experience to cover a multitude of populations and settings, including culturally and linguistically diverse individuals\u0026nbsp;\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n\n
