About

In English
 Developmental phonological disorders are a group of language disorders that affect children's ability to develop speech that is easily understood by the time they are four years old because the sound patterns of language are disrupted. This small book shows how important the roles of parents and teachers are in the treatment process. It has been written in clear and accessible style by an experienced Speech-Language Pathologist.

French Translation: DIFFICULTÉS PHONOLOGIQUES CHEZ L’ENFANT (LES) Guide à l’intention des familles, des enseignantes et des intervenantes en petite enfance. Bowen, 2007










2007

In French
 Les difficultés phonologiques constituent un problème de langage influant sur la capacité des enfants à s’exprimer de façon intelligible. Des études réalisées par des linguistes travaillant dans le domaine de la phonologie clinique ont grandement influencé la prise en charge orthophonique de ce type de désordre. Le Dr Caroline Bowen, orthophoniste de profession, s’en est inspirée pour élaborer l’approche présentée dans ce guide. here
Les difficultés phonologiques chez l’enfant aborde d’abord le développement phonétique et phonologique de l’enfant, expliquant comment les sons sont acquis, pourquoi les erreurs se développent et comment elles peuvent être comprises à l’intérieur du développement langagier global. La seconde partie est consacrée à l’intervention, décrivant en détail le travail de l’orthophoniste, l’implication des parents, le rôle des éducatrices en service de garde et des enseignantes ainsi que l’ensemble des techniques et des attitudes pouvant aider l’enfant.

Bibliographie du Québec
Children's speech sound disorders - Caroline Bowen - click on the cover image to visit the publisher's web site.
2009		 Caroline Bowen’s Children’s Speech Sound Disorders will be welcomed by experienced and novice clinicians, clinical educators, and students in the field of speech-language pathology/speech and language therapy for its practical, clinical focus. Drawing on the evidence base where possible, and making important theory to practice links overt, Bowen enhances her comprehensive account of assessment and clinical management of children with protracted or problematic speech development, with the addition of forty nine expert essays.        
   
These unique contributions are authored by fifty one internationally respected academicians, clinicians, researchers and thinkers (LISTED HERE) representing a range of work settings, expertise, paradigms and theoretical orientations. In response to frequently asked questions about their work they address key theoretical, assessment, intervention, and service delivery issues.        

Bowen’s undisputed enthusiasm for her topic, concern for client care, emphasis on the role and participation of families in intervention, and four decades of dealing with the realities of hands-on clinical practice permeate the work, affirming what speech and language clinicians do, on a day-to-day basis, with children with mild, moderate, severe and persistent difficulties with speech acquisition. As well as the expert essays it includes case vignettes, clinical nuggets, practical strategies and real world examples.
