This was an ok textbook. I thought the chapters were a little too long, with not enough review questions. Often the information was too detailed, and I didn't feel I knew enough about the science part of speech disorders to understand what the authors were driving at a lot of the time. This book was also overpriced (like many psych/science textbooks). Why any university student should pay upwards of $140 for a textbook is beyond me.
