AB This book is eminently practical. Chapters on "Description of Cerebral Palsy," "Description of Speech Differences," "Background of Speech Therapy," and "Problems of Personal Adjustment" are included. It is written in nontechnical language. A certain paucity of detail in one or two chapters presupposes some previous knowledge of the subject on the part of the reader. Chapters on "Therapy for the Development of Speech" and "Special Problems in Speech Therapy" are excellent. Many suggested procedures and exercises will be helpful in working with children having cerebral palsy and with other speech sufferers. Visual and kinesthetic as well as auditory cues are stressed. Interesting diagrams illustrate points discussed in the text.Since the material is so practical and well presented another edition, expanded somewhat and in better dress, would be desirable.
