Communication Sciences & Disorders

Introduction to Speech Science is tailor-made for the undergraduate Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology student. It provides a basic, student-friendly introduction to Speech and Hearing Science, alleviating frustration on the parts of both students and instructors who have been forced to use graduate-level texts in the past. The authors have many years of experience teaching undergraduate courses in Speech Science, and their book is written in simple, easy to understand language. It features extensive hints to students that reinforce concepts and assist “science-shy” students. At the end of each chapter, there are questions for students' review of the material. The book also includes recent references for further information, and a glossary of terms.

• Hints, located throughout the text, help students understand difficult concepts.

• The Glossary, located at the back of the book, provides a review of technical terms for students.

• Questions, featured at the end of chapters, allow students to test their understanding, and instructors can assign them for homework and review.

• Chapter 7 on phonology reflects the current demand for content in this area.
