review: Editorial Reviews Review "...this is an exceptionally useful addition to the body of knowledge regarding articulation and phonology. Rvachew and Brosseau-Lapre present perhaps the most solidly research-based text available and supplement their comprehensive overview of the research literature with practical information that can be easily incorporated into masters and doctoral level education. The practical information will be valuable to practicing clinicians who turn to the text for up-to-date research and application information." --Lissa Power-deFur, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, ASHA-F, Professor, Communication Sciences and Disorders Director, Longwood s Speech, Hearing, and Learning Services, Longwood University About the Author Susan Rvachew, PhD, S-LP(C) , worked as a speech-language pathologist in pediatric health care settings for 20 years before taking a position at McGill University, where she is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders.
