De la contraportada

A classic in the field. The leading, most current and comprehensive review of information critical to the study of clinical phonology available.

Long renowned for providing the most up-to-date, extensive coverage of the clinical literature in the area of speech sound disorders available, this leading resource has earned its status as a classic in the field and its rightful place on every speech, language, and hearing clinician s bookshelf. Readers get an introduction to the normal aspects of speech sound articulation, normal speech sound acquisition, classification and factors related to the presence of speech sound disorders, the assessment and remediation of speech sound disorders, and phonology as it relates to language and dialectal variations. Rather than prescribing a single approach to speech sound disorders, the authors present a range of perspectives on the nature, assessment and treatment of these disorders. The book is primarily concerned with those disorders not etiologically associated with known or obvious sensory, structural or neuromotor deficits.

 

Among the changes and updates to the Eighth Edition are:

• An expanded focus on evidence-based practice.
• Reorganization of several chapters.
• An updated discussion of childhood apraxia of speech.
