Key Features: *Detailed organization that provides foundational knowledge and then leads the student through the logical sequence of clinical activities. *Coherent organization that ensures that all new terms are defined and the student's understanding is enriched by repeated application in new contexts throughout. *Clear terms and explanations that reflect current research evidence in speech sound disorders. *Detailed examples, illustrations, tables and figures throughout to increase comprehension for undergraduate students. *Each chapter begins with learning objectives and ends with study questions. *Practice activities are included throughout to encourage interactive learning. *Key Point boxes encourage review of important content at the end of each section. *A PluralPlus companion website contains PowerPoint lecture slides, example course syllabi, and quizzes and exercises for students. ''Introduction to Speech Sound Disorders'' begins with basic concepts in phonetics and phonology, covers normal phonological development, and then details assessment, interpretation and diagnosis, treatment planning, and finally the selection and implementation of an appropriate intervention.
