Sommario/riassunto

Multilingual Aspects of Speech Sound Disorders in Children explores both multilingual and multicultural aspects of children with speech sound disorders. The 30 chapters have been written by 44 authors from 16 different countries about 112 languages and dialects. The book is designed to translate research into clinical practice. It is divided into three sections: (1) Foundations, (2) Multilingual speech acquisition, (3) Speech-language pathology practice. An introductory chapter



discusses cross-linguistic and multilingual aspects of speech sound disorders in children. Subsequent chapters address speech sound acquisition, how the disorder manifests in different languages, cultural contexts, and speakers, and addresses diagnosis, assessment and intervention. The research chapters synthesize available research across a wide range of languages. A unique feature of this book are the chapters that translate research into clinical practice. These chapters provide real-life vignettes for specific geographical or linguistic contexts.

Sommario/riassunto

There is an increasing number of medical professionals specializing in minimally invasive cosmetic procedures and the panoply of procedures themselves is growing all the time, and not simply confined to treatment of the face. Patients are accordingly becoming more demanding and want to achieve the best results, whether they want the difference to be dramatic or more subtle. This is a synoptic text covering all procedures and the whole body, from an international centre of excellence, on how to offer the best results to demanding patients. Each chapter uses case studies to illustrate how to tailor procedures to individual patients--Provided by publisher.
