Summary

"The third edition of Articulatory and Phonological Impairments provides students with a clinical framework that encompasses basic terms and concepts, phonetic transcription, and several theoretical perspectives that are applied to clinical examples throughout. Jacqueline Bauman-Waengler demonstrates a systematic transition from a knowledge based in clinical practice to the diagnosis and treatment of individuals with articulatory and phonological disorders. The text focuses on phonemic approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of motor-based disorders, replete with a thorough discussion of phonetic principles."--BOOK JACKET.
