Diagnosis Destinations Shelley Velleman New! Childhood Dyspraxia Resource Guide by Shelley Lynne Velleman "This Childhood Apraxia of Speech Resource Guide... is an attempt to... gather together what has been learned thus far about childhood apraxia of speech into a concrete, practical, comprehensive guide that the practicing speech-language pathologist can use as a resource to aid in day-to-day diagnostic and intervention decision-making about children with possible childhood apraxia of speech..." "The many summaries, tables, and forms are intended to make the relevant information easily accessible and usable for the busy pediatric speech-language pathologist. The summaries are summaries in the sense of being concise, but not in the sense of lack of detail. They consist of lists of specific components of assessment and treatment approaches, with notes comparing more traditional approaches to those that are current today. The tables include vital normative information about prelinguistic vocal development and the development of word and syllable shapes as well as of consonants and vowels. The forms facilitate documentation of these developments in particular clients with childhood apraxia of speech, as well as of communicative intents and means, communicative effectiveness, the prevalence of homonyms, and levels of inconsistency in children with apraxia. "All technical terms are carefully defined, with examples, both in the text and in the Glossary. My over-reaching goal in writing this Guide has been to provide easily accessible information about what to do and why. It is my hope that it will increase your knowledge, skills, confidence, and efficiency as you work with this very challenging population."
