For forty years, this textbook has been the gold-standard
resource for providing speech-language pathologists with a strong
foundation of knowledge on speech sound disorders. Previously published
as Articulation and Phonological Disorders,
this core text is now in its ninth edition, fully updated and expanded
to meet the needs of today’s clinicians as they work with children of
all ages.
A cornerstone of every
SLP’s professional preparation, the new edition of this book offers the
most up-to-date, comprehensive coverage of contemporary clinical
literature and the best available treatments for speech sound disorders.
With a focus on evidence-based practice, the expert authors and
contributors present essential information and guidelines on a broad
range of topics, from the basics of typical speech production to
recommended practices for assessment and intervention. Updates include
new and expanded chapters on timely topics, new instructor materials and
student-friendly features, and helpful guidance for clinicians serving
an increasingly diverse population.
With
this authoritative synthesis of research and practice, the next
generation of SLPs will have the broad and deep knowledge they need to
understand speech sound disorders and provide children with the best
possible supports and interventions.
