I’ve had all 4 editions of this textbook and this is definitely the best. The colored photos are much improved and the supplemental videos are well done. I also liked the various appendices. My only complaint is there needs to be more about language and phonology problems associated with cleft palate and craniofacial syndromes and other techniques besides drill-based articulation intervention.
