Speech Practice Manual is a compendium of drills and practice. The need for speech practice material, which cannot be found in other sources, was the original impetus for developing the content for dysarthric and apraxic individuals. Much of the book's content is intended to compare and contrast articulatory aspects of speech. It has also been used as a stimulus to practice various stress patterns and other components of prosody, as well as speech rate. The manual is a workbook from which the speech impaired individual would work under the guidance and specific instruction provided by a speech pathologist. As the material in the book is not arranged in hierarchical order, the practice material included in the book has to be individually selected for each case.

Many children and adults experience impairment of their communication skills. These communication disorders impact adversely on all aspects of these individuals' lives. In thirty dedicated chapters, The Cambridge Handbook of Communication Disorders examines the full range of developmental and acquired communication disorders and provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to the epidemiology, aetiology and clinical features of these disorders. The volume also examines how these disorders are assessed and treated by speech and language therapists and addresses recent theoretical developments in the field. The handbook goes beyond well-known communication disorders to include populations such as children with emotional disturbance, adults with non-Alzheimer dementias and people with personality disorders. Each chapter describes in accessible terms the most recent thinking and research in communication disorders. The volume is an ideal guide for academic researchers, graduate students and professionals in speech and language therapy.
