More About This Textbook
Overview
Speech-language clinicians who work with children have for a long time had trouble obtaining clinical reference material designed specifically for children. This comprehensive book furnishes the reader with a complete source of information on assessment, treatment, and management strategies for children with developmental apraxia, disarthria, and stuttering.
A Brandon-Hill Selection.
Special features of this work include:
This timely book integrates neuroanatomical and neurophysiological development issues with speech motor control and motor learning as a basis for treatment planning and service provision. Written by some of the leading clinicians and researchers in the field, it presents a strong theoretical framework to view cases within, but also provides real clinical practical information. Plus, information is presented in a manner that is easily applied by clinicians and students.
The book contains black-and-white illustrations.

Editorial Reviews
From The Critics
Reviewer: Doreen M. Blischak, PhD(University of Florida)Description: This text provides a well-written, comprehensive view of current theory and practice regarding motor speech disorders in children.
Purpose: The purpose is to provide a resource that is useful for both students and practicing clinicians in speech-language pathology.
Audience: According to textbook editors, this book is intended for students and practicing clinicians.
Features: Current theory of motor speech development and disorders in children is overviewed, and then a discussion of assessment and intervention across various disorder categories is presented. Chapters are well written, with thorough coverage of the material and nice degree of overlap. Inclusion of case examples is particularly useful, as are references to current research. Tables and figures support text material well. One small shortcoming, however, is lack of integration of speech production treatment concurrent with introduction of AAC methods.
Assessment: I highly recommend this book to students and clinicians as a practical guide to treatment of motor speech disorders in children. For others, it may serve as a nice refresher course. In addition to expected coverage of apraxia and dysarthria, this text includes coverage of timely topics such as augmentative and alternative communication, feeding and swallowing, and fluency. I intend to use this text to supplement my augmentative and alternative communication courses, as well as in clinical supervision. It is a welcome addition to the speech-language pathology literature.
