Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to delineate the various considerations that the student clinician and novice speech language pathologist (SLP) should take into account when planning to evaluate speech sound disorders in both children and adults. Speech sound disorders encompass both articulation and phonological disorders. Because there are numerous etiologies and characteristics underlying these disorders across the life span, this chapter focuses on the assessment of the most typical developmental presentations. For a more exhaustive description of speech sound disorders, the reader is referred to the seminal works of Bauman-Waengler (2012); Bernthal and Bankson (2004); Bernthal, Bankson, and Flipsen (2013); and Peña-Brooks & Hegde (2015).
