Download or read book Speech Practice Manual for Dysarthria, Apraxia, and Other Disorders of Articulation written by Robert L. Keith and published by Mosby. This book was released on 1989 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
