Invigorate learning with the Enhanced Pearson eText The Enhanced Pearson eText provides a rich, interactive learning environment designed to improve student mastery of content with the following multimedia features: Video Examples give students an inside look at the world of communication disorders. Each video was carefully chosen to illustrate critical text concepts in easily digestible two to three minute clips. Video Tool Exercises offers students the opportunity to engage with chapter content further. These activities consist of a video accompanied by short-answer questions to promote deeper understanding of key concepts. A Glossary links key terms throughout the text, giving students just-in-time access to important definitions. Students can experience the advantages of the Enhanced Pearson eText along with all the benefits of print for 40% to 50% less than a print bound book!

Additional text features include: Academic foundations content provides background knowledge, while clinical applications show what works in helping children and adults with speech sound disorders. Academic foundations content can be found throughout the text: basic concepts; definitions of speech sound disorders; an overview of phonetic transcription and diacritics used to document disordered speech; theoretical models, including newer nonlinear frameworks, phonological development, relevant diagnostic, and therapeutic suggestions for including special populations - including those children with an emerging phonological system as well as dialect speakers and those with English as a second language; and specific assessment and treatment details of articulatory and phonological disorders, including several types of speech sound disorders. New - American Speech-Language Hearing Association ''s position statements, definitions, and practice policies will aid students as they transition into competent clinicians. (See the World Health Organization''s Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health, which is then incorporated into the Scope of Practice by ASHA in Chapter 6.) New - A review of anatomy and physiology of the speech mechanism helps students understand descriptions of articulation as well as cleft palate, and motor speech disorders such as cerebral palsy and acquired dysarthria. (See Chapter 2 for explanations with drawings.) New - The principles of motor learning are discussed in a new section.
(See the discussions of the conditions of practice and feedback for motor learning in Chapter 9.) New - The Dodd (2013) diagnostic classification system of speech sound disorders is introduced in Chapter 1 and revisited throughout the text to give students a framework for reference and clarify how the categories could look clinically. (See the introduction of the system in Chapter 1 and case studies for each of the four classification systems in Chapter 7.) Updated - More user-friendly phonetic descriptors are now aligned to the updated International Phonetic Alphabet (2015) to aid students in learning the specific descriptions without being unnecessarily burdened with cumbersome terminology. (See Chapter 2 for an introduction, and further coverage in every chapter.) Clinical framework content is introduced in Chapter 1, and revisited throughout the text with practical examples and applications, specifically the case studies, clinical applications, and clinical exercises. (See the new case study in Chapter 7, Jonah, demonstrating the application to several diagnostic protocols and how they can be applied to various types of therapy.) Expanded - Updated diagnostic protocols include expanded information on contextual testing, the use of multisyllabic words, and a more streamlined process of analysis of diagnostic information.
(See Chapter 6 for an introduction to the protocols, as well as subsequent case studies in other chapters.) Case studies focus on real-life experiences that beginning students and clinicians will be confronted with, demonstrating a step-by-step process of multiple assessment strategies focusing on phonetic and phonemic analyses. End-of-chapter critical-thinking activities and multiple-choice test questions provide classroom assignments for instructors and reinforcement for students. Revised - Clinical exercises allow the student to practice mastery of theoretical concepts by applying them to real-life situations. Therapists get practical help for understanding and addressing speech sounds in a wide diversity of children. Detailed information is included on regional dialects, Ozark English, Appalachian English, and African-American Vernacular English - including discussions of specific vowel, consonant, and prosodic feature variations which are characteristic of these dialects. (See Chapter 8.) Detailed information is included on seven of the most prevalent native languages of speakers of English as a second language within the United States - including discussions of a comparison of the native language''s vowel, consonant, phonotactics, and prosodic features relative to General American English.
