This is a small cardboard covered handbook in photo-offset print, designed mainly for the speech therapist working with children handicapped by cerebral palsy. It contains a brief description of cerebral palsy (athetoid, spastic and ataxic), classification and description of the common speech disorders, an outline of the sequences of speech development together with a guide to the assessment of speech (articulatory) maturity, and a description of speech and sound discrimination tests.

A detailed outline of the methods of speech therapy used in the athetoid, the spastic, and the ataxic child follows.
