About this title

Review

This book is jam packed with useful information on clinical techniques, approaches, and tools, backed by data on neurological development and concurrent speech emergence.

The author provides a comprehensive resource manual that includes everything you need to know when working with clients with speech disorders. The chapter framework is excellent. It includes learning objectives, key terms and resources at the end of the chapter. Each chapter is thorough and easy to read. It reads as though one is reading a novel, rather than a textbook.
