Treating older children and adolescents who have difficulty
correctly producing /r/ sounds remains an ongoing source of
frustration for many clinicians. The new professional resource
Remediation of /r/ for Speech-Language Pathologists provides the
most up-to-date information on the current understanding of /r/ and
the related errors, along with a range of treatment options, to
offer a comprehensive tool for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs)
treating this complex issue. In addition to a discussion of
traditional articulation therapy and ways to improve the
administration of this technique, this practical text offers a
detailed review and explanation of several very promising
alternative approaches. Written in what has been described as Dr.
Flipsen's "folksy" style, this text is designed for the busy
clinician. The first five chapters of Remediation of /r/ for
Speech-Language Pathologists delve into the basic information
needed to treat /r/. The next six chapters each tackle a specific
treatment option. The treatment section begins with a
re-examination of traditional articulation therapy and uses
research evidence to help clinicians to fine-tune its application.
It then progresses to discussing more significant modifications to
traditional therapy and introduces several newer approaches to
modifying the feedback being provided to the client. For each
treatment option, the author presents a solid rationale and the
latest evidence, along with practical strategies for their
implementation. The final chapter discusses methods for deciding
which remediation method to choose when working with /r/ errors.
