Peña-Brooks, a bilingual/bicultural speech-language pathologist, and Hegde (communication sciences and disorders, California State U.-Fresno) present a textbook on articulation and phonological disorders in children. Each chapter is divided between basic and advanced units and is usable as either an introductory text or an advanced text for graduate seminars, providing continuity in instruction and information for review. Chapters cover basic concepts, approaches, perspectives, theories, and assessment and treatment techniques, including a comprehensive treatment program. This edition has more information on speech production theories, phonological theories, phonological awareness and its treatment, the role of oral-motor exercises, recent research on contrast approaches, and other subjects.
