Navigating Speech Sound Disorders in Children is an easy-to-read resource which gives an overview of the whole area of speech sound disorders (SSDs) in children, covering assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and management, underpinned by the latest research in the field.
The book focuses on key information, providing helpful therapy tips and evidence-based, practical advice drawing on clinical research and the author's extensive experience. Presented in 50 bite-sized chunks, therapists can find and refer to information quickly and easily. Additional guidance and links to further reading are signposted throughout so that the reader can explore topics in more detail, and a wealth of case examples is included to illustrate each point and demonstrate real-life application.
Written by a specialist in the field, this book provides strategies for students and qualified speech and language therapists (SALTs) working with children who present with many different types of SSD. It is valuable reading for both students and less experienced speech and language therapists, as well as seasoned clinicians.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"This book is a vital source of information for all speech and language therapists. It is a critical resource for newly-qualified therapists, as having an easy-to-read book which clearly outlines the process of assessment, diagnosis, and therapeutic intervention is invaluable and efficient. This book makes excellent links between clinical work and theory, with case studies to provide evidence."
