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:

  2. Love, Russell J. (2000) /Childhood Motor Speech Disability/, 2nd Edition. Boston, Allyn and Bacon
