This book provides a developmental framework for assessing and treating language delays, speech sound disorders, fluency issues, and voice problems in children. Family involvement, early intervention, and school collaboration are highlighted. Evidence-based practices are explained through engaging clinical examples and age-specific techniques. The book equips students and clinicians with tools to promote communication success in diverse pediatric populations.
