A balanced and well-rounded book that covers assessment to intervention...a valuable resource for today’s students and tomorrow’s clinicians.

Jennifer Richard, San Diego Unified School District and SLPath

Every speech-language pathologist who works with children with speech sound disorders should own and study this book carefully. The authors clearly explain the groundbreaking research that informs current best practices for children of different ages, with a range of speech sound disorders, and from culturally and linguistically diverse populations. Reading it made me proud to be part of this profession!

I liked the idea of using case studies or vignettes to help with connecting research to practice. The addition of a chapter on accent reduction is also helpful.

Lesley Mayne, University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire

Delivers a learner-centered experience through the inclusion of chapter learning objectives and case study vignettes. The expansion of chapters on evidence-based practice, a variety of interventions, and accent reduction all contribute to making this text current, reliable, and comprehensive
