"Phonetics for Communication Disorders is a tour de force. Drawing
on their combined breath-taking expertise in the area, Professors
Ball and Müller provide an account that solidly integrates the
latest knowledge on the phonetics of disordered speech with
clinically applied techniques for analysis. The text will initiate
new students into core aspects of speech production and variation,
but it is far from merely an introductory work. Phonetics for
Communication Disorders is set to become one of those rare books
which students of speech will retain, consult, and wholeheartedly
trust throughout their subsequent professional careers."
