Question
I am a speech and language therapist. I was wondering whether you could recommend any books about speech and language intervention in children with cerebral palsy.
Answer
To answer the question: Two books that should help you with both diagnostics and therapy for children with C.P. including the dysarthrias would be:
Workinger, M.S. (2005) /Cerebral Palsy Resource Guide for the SLP./ Thompson-Delmar Learning
Love, Russell J. (2000) /Childhood Motor Speech Disability/, 2nd Edition. Boston, Allyn and Bacon
