This is the leading text for courses in clinical phonology–thoroughly
revised and updated to include the most current and up-to-date
information in the field. Even the newly added subtitle, Speech Sound Disorders in Children, reflects recent changes in the field, including new terminology. This classic text does not
prescribe a single approach to phonological disorders but rather
presents an eclectic perspective on the nature, assessment, and
treatment of this communication impairment. The addition of a third
author, Peter Flipsen Jr., a highly-recognized scholar in the area of
clinical phonology, brings important, new information for readers and
fresh perspectives to the text. Among the many highlights and special
features of the sixth edition are: An entire section devoted to the
classification of speech sound disorders; The latest information on
Childhood Apraxia of Speech, including a detailed discussion of the 2007
ASHA position statement; A revised and updated comprehensive chapter on
Normal Development; A full section on measuring clinical change set
within the context of evidence-based practice; An outstanding summary of
phonological acquisition information written by leading researcher in
this area, Sharynne McLeod; Comprehensive coverage of dialects and
phonologic characteristics of speakers with first languages other than
English, prepared by leading authorities in this area, Brian Goldstein
and Aquiles Iglesias; A completely updated chapter on phonological
awareness, co-authored by Laura Justice, Gail Gillon, and C. Melanie
Schuele; A fully comprehensive and current review of etiological
variables, thorough discussion of the assessment of phonologic
disorders, and an updated review of broad-based intervention
methodologies; and every chapter features introductions, summaries,
charts, and graphs to guide learning and aid students’ comprehension.
The sixth edition of Articulation and Phonological Disorders: Speech Sound Disorders in Children proves once again its “classic” status, and its rightful place on every speech, language, and hearing clinician’s bookshelf.
