This innovative textbook offers comprehensive perspectives on
speech sound development and disorders provided by leading experts
in the field. It is primarily intended for individuals in training
for a career in clinical linguistics, an audience comprised of
undergraduate and graduate students who are preparing to become
speech-language pathologists. We also hope that this text will
serve practising speech-language pathologists as a useful tool to
bring their practice up to date with regards to the cutting-edge
advances in the management of speech sound disorders. Researchers
interested in various aspects of speech production will find this
book a valuable resource as well. The assumed level of expertise
includes basic familiarity with phonetics, phonology, and
introductory linguistics. The authors take their readers on a
journey from the first studies of child speech development using
paper and pencil, to contemporary clinical and research methodology
such as acoustic analyses and videofluoroscopy, to an outlook on
the future with promises of creating a catalogue of genetic
disorder aetiologies. They describe speech sound acquisition from
typically developing children in English and other languages to the
perplexing variety of disordered speech and its impact on a child's
life. They provide the theoretical and hands-on foundations for the
clinical management of children with speech sound disorders.
Several special features make this book unique. First, it covers a
wide range of clinical topics such as idiopathic articulation and
phonological disorders, childhood apraxia of speech, dysarthria,
cleft palate, hearing impairment, developmental disorders, and
links between speech sound disorders and dyslexia. Second, it comes
with a rich set of sound files and video files illustrating a wide
range of populations and aspects of clinical practice with examples
of various types of typical and disordered speech, speech
assessments, and treatment activities. Third, it provides a number
of pedagogical tools including review questions at the end of each
chapter to help readers self-assess their understanding, activities
to enhance the mastery of the materials and guide readers to
interact with more complex or advanced facets of the chapter's
topic, and a full suite of adaptable lecture slides. Supplemental
information on clinical applications of the International Phonetic
Alphabet, phonological processes, and statistical properties of
standardised tests is contained in the three appendices. With its
comprehensive perspectives on child speech development and
disorders, the pathways between linguistic theory and clinical
practice, and the pedagogical focus, this textbook is a unique
contribution to the tools available for training future
speech-language pathologists and for independent learning among
practising clinicians and researchers. Together, these features
equip readers with a thorough understanding of typical and
disordered speech development and with clinical tools to diagnose
and treat disordered speech effectively.
