Articulation

In this textbook, Dr Samuel Fletcher introduces his instrumental, physiologically-based approach to teaching and learning speech articulation skills. In particular, he details the effective and efficient clinical use of the palatometer, which portrays articulatory events in three dimensions, thereby providing the means to approach speech disability from a motor skill framework. Dr Fletcher's text provides precisely the help clinicians need to take full advantage of the physiological and parallel acoustic information through palatometry and other tools becoming available for examining, assessing and modifying speech motor skills. This book should be of interest to speech language pathologists, postgraduates in speech science, and researchers in speech physiology.
