NEW edition coming Fall 2020!

With detailed discussion and invaluable video footage of 23 treatment interventions for speech sound disorders (SSDs) in children, this textbook and DVD set should be part of every speech-language pathologist's professional preparation. Focusing on children with functional or motor-based speech disorders from early childhood through the early elementary period, this textbook gives preservice SLPs critical analyses of a complete spectrum of evidence-based phonological and articulatory interventions.

This textbook fully prepares SLPs for practice with

• a vivid inside look at intervention techniques in action through high-quality DVD clips
• large and varied collection of intervention approaches with widespread use across ages, severity levels, and populations
• proven interventions in three categories: direct speech production, broader contexts such as perceptual intervention, and speech movements
• clear explanations of the evidence behind the approaches so SLPs can evaluate them accurately
• contributions by well-known experts in SSDs from across the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK

An essential core text for pre-service SLPs—and an important professional resource for practicing SLPs, early interventionists, and special educators—this book will help readers make the best intervention decisions for children with speech sound disorders.

Evidence-based intervention approaches—demonstrated in DVD clips—such as:

• minimal pairs
• perceptual intervention
• core vocabulary
• stimulability treatment
• intervention for developmental dysarthria
• the psycholinguistic approach
