Articulatory and Phonological Impairments: A Clinical Focus [Hardcover]

Jacqueline Ann Bauman-Wangler (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 20, 1999

Articulatory and Phonological Impairments provides students with a clinical framework that encompasses basic terms and concepts, phonetic transcription, and several theoretical perspectives that are extensively applied to clinical examples. In addition, this text demonstrates to students a systematic transition from this knowledge base to the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with articulatory/ phonological disorders. While this text offers a thorough discussion of phonetic principles (also known as the traditional or motor approach) applied to the diagnosis and treatment of motor-based disorders, emphasis is placed on phonemic approaches. Contemporary issues such as features of a phonological assessment, various phonemic-based therapies, and newer nonlinear/ multilinear phonologies and their role in the assessment and intervention process are treated in detail.

This review is from: Articulatory and Phonological Impairments: A Clinical Focus (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)

Well-written, easy to read, and informative, this book will be referred to repeatedly by clinicians working with articulation disorders. It covers everything you need to know about articulation and normal development of sounds. Assessment, diagnosis, and intervention is also covered, and it contains several charts throughout which the clinician will find useful to refer to or keep data.

Full disclosure, here -- Dr. Bauman-Waengler was one of my professors in undergrad and grad school, and I think she's great. So maybe I'm a little biased, but I own the 2nd edition of this book and think it's a fabulous resource! I referred to it very often when I was starting out, and still use it periodically. The book is well organized, with lots of useful information in easily accessible charts. Also, it's an easy read, thanks to Dr. Bauman-Waengler's distinct and enjoyable writing style. I'd recommend it to anyone!
