The Late Eight

Product Description

The Late Eight, Third Edition provides clinical resources to help clinicians, students, and academics evaluate and treat late acquired sounds. The late eight are typically the last acquired by English-speaking children and are most likely to challenge school-aged students as well as non-native English speakers, both children and adults. The text is an ideal resource for anyone working with individuals whose speech contains errors affecting [ ], [ð], [s], [z], [l], [r], [ ], or [t ]. Additionally, vocalic [r] is included because it often serves as a step to reaching consonantal [r].

The third edition keeps (and slightly modifies) the clinical resources while expanding the tool kit to include new essential clinical concepts, including evidence based practice, Spanish influenced English, the curriculum, and a new treatment model. In addition, the third edition replaces the CD of previous editions with an expanded and flexible interactive companion website.

New to the third edition:

• 4 additional chapters: Chapter 1: A Late 8 Update, Chapter 2: Using Evidence to Guide Clinical Practice, Chapter 3: The Late 8 en español, Chapter 4: Speech Sound Disorders, Literacy, and Curriculum
• Contributing authors provide their expertise
• A PluralPlus companion website

Resources for each late-acquired sound include:

• technical and nontechnical definitions
• age of acquisition
• common errors
• key phonetic environments
• useful metaphors
• touch cues
• stimulability tests
• demonstrations of place, manner, and voicing
• phonetic placement and shaping techniques
• speech exercises: language awareness and speech activities
• lists of words divided by phonetic and word environments
