Motor Speech Disorders: Advances in Assessment and TreatmentJames A. Till, Kathryn M. Yorkston, David R. Beukelman Based on selected papers given at the Conference on Motor Speech Disorders held in 1992 at Boulder, Colorado, this volume presents original research on a broad range of motor speech disorder topics in children and adults, e.g., speech characteristics and speech-related physiologic functions for individuals with apraxia, spasmodic torticollis, spasmodic dysphonia, traumatic brain injury, and Parkinson's disease. Primarily for clinical practitioners in speech- language pathology, researchers in neuromotor speech disorders, and students of neurogenic speech disorders.
