Articulation and Phonological Disorders, Fifth Edition, presents a comprehensive review of information important to the study of clinical phonology. Clearly the most comprehensive book on clinical phonology, Articulation and Phonological Disorders was revised to keep this "classic" reference current and up-to-date. This text does not prescribe a single approach to phonological disorders, but rather presents an eclectic perspective on the nature, assessment, and treatment of this type of communication impairment. The text includes an introduction to the normal aspects of speech sound articulation, normal phonological development, factors related to the presence of phonological disorders, the assessment and remediation of phonological disorders, phonology as it relates to language and dialectal variations, and a chapter on phonological awareness. Discussion questions are presented with each chapter and a new case study is included in the assessment and remediation chapters. As in past editions, this text is primarily concerned with those phonological disorders not etiologically associated with known or obvious sensory, structural, or neuromotor deficits.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not an Introductory Guide,
This review is from: Articulation and Phonological Disorders (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
There is no doubt that the authors of this text are indeed experts. All concepts have an angular approach and base nearly each written conceptual description with its source, scholarly journal, theorist/investigator or experimental finding.
Sentences are overloaded with information-- there are no fillers and no glaze-over sentences. Any simplistic language that is easily processed in any text for a reader's occassional "breath" are instead substituted with the most technical or clinical term, followed by an overwhelming complexity of language that requires every ounce of concentration and comprehension exercisable. I believe EACH sentence was written with the purpose of leaving someone in complete jaw-dropping awe. Students opening this book will most likely have encountered the foundational framework for many of the concepts presented and may find just the right amount of challenge and stimulus needed to reactivate their knowledge or expand on it with it's lengthy, thorough, and small-print font. However, I HIGHLY discourage anyone seeking an "introductory guide" or "overview" of articulatory and phonological disorders to begin their studies here. Authors have clearly written this book for the "continuing" student, not the "new" one. Even the introductory chapter is written with the assumption that you have a background in linguistics and/or phonetics. That being said-- this book, I imagine, was intended for 4th-year or graduate level study.

ridiculous book,

This review is from: Articulation and Phonological Disorders (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
I am a graduate student in Communication Disorders, and even so, I hate this book. It's packed with unnecessary detail and drawn out sentences. Why intentionally make something tedious and confusing to read? I want something that is both informative and interesting. This book is anything but.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Dry, horrible read,

This review is from: Articulation and Phonological Disorders (6th Edition) (Hardcover)
I can't get over how dry and horrible this book was. The whole class thought so and almost no one used the book for class.
