Written with the student and university instructor in mind, this book presents a comprehensive review of articulation and phonological disorders. Students and instructors alike will appreciate the many unique features of this new text including an easy writing style, ample use of tables and figures, chapter summaries, detailed and practical appendixes, a comprehensive glossary, and a strong clinical focus.
Students who are approaching clinical practicum and professionals who are treating articulation and phonological disorders will treasure the assessment and treatment chapters. Thorough and precise, these chapters guide the reader step-by-step, with detailed examples to illustrate the procedures. The comprehensive appendix on sound establishment techniques will quickly become a student favorite.
This book breaks new ground in textbook writing by organizing the basic and advanced information into dual-level units within each chapter. Instructors will find this innovative organization useful to teach both an undergraduate course and a graduate seminar in articulation and phonological disorders. The modular organization of basic and advanced information will assist in designing flexible course content. It will simplify lecture preparation by offering the flexibility to skip basic or advanced units and use information selectively according to the level of the class. With this new format, undergraduate students may get a glimpse of more advanced information and graduate students will get a chance to review basic information as preparation for their graduate seminars. Other important aspects include an extensive chapter on bilingual and ethnocultural variables and an introduction to assessment and treatment of organic and neurogenic speech disorders.
Instructors who adopt this book will simplify their course preparation and streamline information into modules that will help students more easily master the course content. |
