Childhood Speech Therapy Manual – vol. 1 , the first book in a new series dedicated to speech therapy in childhood, is offered as a clinical practice textbook capable of addressing the complexity of language function in childhood, starting from the most recent and fascinating knowledge that correlates the mechanisms of neuronal plasticity, motor control of speech and mirror neurons, to get to the most characterizing aspects of speech disorders in different pathological conditions: from neurodevelopmental disorders to congenital and acquired brain injuries, from forms of neurodegenerative diseases to epilepsy, without neglecting evaluation methodologies and intervention.

Speech therapy in childhood
The Speech Therapy in Childhood series offers a panorama of rehabilitation proposals for the different development stages, along with a more general overview of the various problems, presenting new food for thought or conceptual redefinitions, consolidated approaches and more original initiatives which are supported by recognized and plausible theoretical reference models.
