"Organized in four sections, this handbook provides
detailed reviews of many common speech and language disorders. The
last three sections cover familiar topics - language
disorders, speech disorders, cognitive/intellectual disorders.
However, the introductory section, 'Foundations', is
unique in that it addresses issues that are universal to any type
of disorder and its treatment, such as labeling, diversity,
genetics, assessment, additional impairments, and more ...
Recommended." CHOICE (February 2011)

"Unique in its comprehensive coverage of language and speech
disorders of various aetiologies, a 'must have'
resource for students, clinicians and researchers in
speech-language pathology and related professions."

--Bruce Murdoch, the University of Queensland

"Damico, Müller and Ball have successfully responded to a
challenge unanswered since the last revision of Travis'
(1971) handbook. They have compiled a work that comprehensively
documents how the study of language and speech disorders has
changed since then."

--Audrey Holland, University of Arizona

"If you've been looking for an accessible reference text
on language and speech disorders, written by respected experts,
then your search stops here."

--Fiona Gibbon, University College Cork, Ireland

publication edited by Lee Edward Travis. The editors have recruited
capable authors to meet the challenge of assembling a text that is
contemporary and comprehensive in its coverage of the
field."

--Raymond Kent, University of Wisconsin, Madison
