Reviews / Votes
Sarah Braithwaite, NHS Tower Hamlets, Speech and Language Therapy in Practice magazine, (Spring 2011): "Each sound is represented on each side of the divided pages. Each side can be 'flipped' independently so any two sounds can be compared. The sound is described together with a photograph, diagram, ultrasound image and EPG frame. Older children and adults would find the photo and diagram useful...Useful to brush up on exactly how a sound is produced and possibly for training other professionals."More details
