Articulatory and Phonological Impairments: A Clinical Focus (2nd Edition) [Hardcover]

Jacqueline Bauman-Waengler (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 31, 2003 | ISBN-10: 0205402488 | ISBN-13: 978-0205402489 | Edition: 2

Updated fully in its Second Edition, Articulatory and Phonological Impairments provides students with a clinical framework that encompasses basic terms and concepts, phonetic transcription, and theoretical perspectives extensively applied to clinical examples. This text demonstrates a systematic transition from a knowledge base in clinical practice 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 phonological assessment, various phonemic-based therapies, and newer nonlinear/multi-linear phonologies and their role in the assessment and intervention process are treated in detail.

From the Back Cover

Updated fully in its Second Edition, Articulatory and Phonological Impairments provides students with a clinical framework that encompasses basic terms and concepts, phonetic transcription, and several theoretical perspectives and extensively applies them to clinical examples.

This text demonstrates a systematic transition from a knowledge base in clinical practice 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. Case studies are used to demonstrate a step-by-step process of multiple assessment strategies focusing on phonetic and phonemic analyses and clinical case study exercises provided throughout the text demonstrate different types of phonemic analyses and how they lead to therapeutic decision-making. Contemporary issues such as features of a phonological assessment, various phonemic-based therapies, and newer nonlinear and /-multi-linear phonologies and their role in the assessment and intervention process are treated in detail.

New to this Edition:

• Extensive revision of chapter 3 to reflect the newer transcription systems offered by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and the Extensions to the IPA (extIPA).
• In Chapter 4, the section on multilinear approaches has been extended to include optimality theory and its clinical applications.
• Updates throughout of new information discovered since the First Edition.

This book is not only informative, but also clinician-friendly. It is very well-written, and a "must" for any graduate student or new clinician in communication disorders.

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!
