Features: In China, speech pathology and audiology are emerging disciplines. "Assessment and Treatment of Speech Disorders" is a core course in the field of speech and hearing science (speech pathology and audiology). It primarily studies the abnormal phonetic phenomena of patients with speech disorders and provides an objective basis for targeted speech therapy. Speech disorders mainly manifest as respiratory, phonation, resonance, articulation, and phonological disorders. Objective measurement and assessment of speech disorders should be combined with auditory assessment to accurately determine the nature and severity of speech disorders, thereby making speech therapy more scientific and effective. As one of the college series textbooks, this book fills the gap in this field in China. Its content includes the assessment and treatment of respiratory, phonation, resonance, and articulation disorders, as well as practical methods for speech therapy. The book emphasizes the combination of theory and practice, particularly highlighting the practical application of modern technology in the quantitative assessment and real-time treatment of speech functions. The book was supported by the 2005 Shanghai Pujiang Talent Program and the Seattle Speech and Hearing Foundation in the United States. It can serve as a textbook for speech pathology and audiology majors and also as a reference for professionals in related fields.
