From ‘Speech and Language Therapy in Practice’, Autumn 2009...
“It is person centred, sensitive to the needs of the individual service user and inclusive of carers. A very useful addition to the clinical tool kit.”
From a review in 'Speech and Language Therapy in Practice', Winter 2005.
On the assessment package...
"A useful one stop shop for assessment of communication skills of adults with learning disabilities of varying degrees, especially where brief case capacity is limited. It sets the scene for students and newly qualified practitioners who need a starting point in assessing this client group, not only in essential linguistic areas but also in pragmatics. For experienced clinicians it has always proved a good resource...".
On the second edition.....
.. "clear aims and instructions as before and excellent current information sections on interpretation and theoretical background".
Others have described CASP as...
