Description: This is the leading and most current comprehensive review of information critical to the study of clinical phonology. Long renowned for providing the most up-to-date and extensive coverage of the clinical literature in the area of speech sound disorders, this resource has earned its status as a classic in the field and its rightful place on every speech, language, and hearing clinician’s bookshelf. The book offers 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, 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, and an updated discussion of childhood apraxia of speech.
