Based on selected papers given at the Conference on Motor Speech Disorders held in 1992 at Boulder, Colorado, this volume presents original research on a broad range of motor speech disorder topics in children and adults, e.g., speech characteristics and speech-related physiologic functions for individuals with apraxia, spasmodic torticollis, spasmodic dysphonia, traumatic brain injury, and Parkinson's disease. Primarily for clinical practitioners in speech- language pathology, researchers in neuromotor speech disorders, and students of neurogenic speech disorders.

Developed by one of the leading experts on childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) and an expert on test development, the DEMSS tool is an efficient way to assess children who have significant speech impairment, especially reduced phonemic and/or phonetic inventories, vowel or prosodic errors, poor speech intelligibility, and/or little to no verbal communication.
Motor speech disorders are a common accompaniment of a whole range of neurological conditions, from stroke, brain injury and Parkinson’s disease through to many rarer conditions. This book aims to aid understanding of the nature of motor speech disorders from a cross-language perspective, in contrast to the largely English-centric nature of research and practice recommendations to date. The book looks not just at how these motor speech disorders are assessed and treated in other countries, but also examines how underlying speech impairments differ according to the language someone speaks. The book studies the underlying neurological, neurophysiological and neurophonetic characteristics of motor speech disorders in different language contexts, and discusses the implications these have for clinical rehabilitation. This significantly adds to debates around the theoretical understanding and clinical management of motor speech disorders.
Motor Speech Disorders: Diagnosis and Treatment, Fourth Edition offers a detailed yet streamlined introduction to motor speech disorders for graduate speech-language pathology students and beginning clinicians. The text begins with a brief historical overview of motor speech disorders, providing useful context for understanding the technology and methodology used by today’s speech-language pathologists for assessment and treatment. The book also provides a practical introduction to the human motor system with 45 full-color anatomical illustrations enabling readers to more easily understand the challenging material. A full chapter is dedicated to the assessment of the disorders and includes a detailed explanation of the complete motor speech examination. The majority of the text is focused on the six pure dysarthrias, mixed dysarthria, and apraxia of speech. Throughout these chapters, a consistent organization is maintained to facilitate the reader’s understanding of the disorders. Each chapter begins with the neurological basis of the condition, then covers the causes of the disorder, an examination of the relevant speech characteristics, and key evaluation tasks specific to the disorder; and concludes with treatment procedures. Key Features: * The author uses an uncomplicated presentation of neurological conditions with an accessible writing style * Chapter outlines identify the major topics discussed in each chapter * A concise summary effectively wraps up each chapter to emphasize key points for students * End-of-chapter study questions prompt review and application of topics discussed in each chapter * 230 bolded key terms throughout with an end-of-book glossary * 18 clinical cases with videos of real patients with motor speech disorders New to the Fourth Edition: * Several new illustrations providing insight into how certain diseases affect the motor system * New information/developments related to: conditions that can cause dysarthria assessment of dysarthria and apraxia of speech treatment tasks, with particular focus on evidence-based procedures * Many updated references and citations in nearly every chapter Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content (such as eFlashcards) are not be included as published in the original print version of this book.
Provides clinically relevant information for clinicians and students. Addresses theory, assessment procedures, treatment and management, issues in swallowing and feeding, stuttering, augmentative and alternative communication methods, and functional treatment outcomes. Extensive references.
