Motor Speech Disorders: Substrates, Differential Diagnosis, and Management

Rating:
Summary: solid reference for beginning speech language pathologists
Review: duffy provides a solid and straight-forward depiction of the more prevalent motor speech disorders. the most important function of the text is to provide a solid foundation in differential diagnosis. most of the dysarthrias that present themselves are of the mixed variety and duffy provides the reader the essential tools necessary in recognizing the signs and symptoms. clinical experience needs to provide the rest. the neurological sections were presented from a different perspective than what i had grown accostomed to in my studies, but a different approach was appreciated.
