Description

A clinical text on speech articulation disorders in children, this book addresses the concepts of dysarthria, apraxia, and motor disability. Following an introductory chapter that includes thorough definitions of dysarthria, apraxia, and phonologic disability, it covers the general scope of speech disorders in children, a neurobehavioural model of speech disorders in children, assessment strategies, clinical profiles, treatment strategies, and a concluding summary on clinical research efforts and evaluation and treatment strategies. The appendices include: a description of clinical research protocols with normative data where available; a review of motor, speech, and language evaluation and treatment tools, and clinical exercises for treatment planning. This book should be of interest to speech-language pathologists in clinical and school settings, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in speech-language programmes.
