Each chapter has special fea-tures to help readers learn and retain the information presented. Chapters begin with a "preview paragraph" to orient readers to chapter contents. Each chapter section contains both a brief introduction and an endingsummary to help readers (a) become aware of what they will read, (b) read it, and (c) review what they have just read. We believe that repetition is an important element of learning and retaining information. At the end of each chapter, a "Chapter Highlights" section reviews and summarizes the most pertinent information. Readers who are studying for examinations can, soon before the examination, refresh their memories by rereading section intro-ductions, summaries, and chapter highlights. Test questions in multiple-choice format can be found at the end of each chapter. The multiple-choice questions are written in a manner similar to that of the questions on the Praxis, to help prepare readers for those questions. The newest version of the Praxis contains multiple-choice questions with answers in an A-D format, and we have updated our questions to reflect this. We have included many more "case study" type questions to reflect the current Praxis. Answers to multiple-choice test questions are located on the last page of each chapter. For readers who want more information about certain topics within a chapter, we have included a comprehensive list of current references and recommended readings by chapter at advancedreviewpractice These lists have been substantially updated; the sixth edition of this book contains over 300 new, current references.In the sixth edition of this book, authors have also made content updates. All chapters have been revised to include current information and references. In various chapters, we discuss smartphone, tablet, and desktop computer apps that help persons with communication disorders. Chapter 2 on phonetics and acoustics has been thoroughly revised. The basic analysis of sound as a physical phenomenon and acoustic analysis of speech sounds has been distinguished and described. The section on the acoustic analysis of speech sound production has been updated with new illustrations of formants and formant transitions. Chapter 9 on motor speech disorders and dysphagia has been revised to include information about the oral preparatory phase, oral phase, pharyngeal phase, and esophageal phase of swallowing and its disorders. Specific protocols for screening and assessment of swallowing have been outlined. These include the Yale Swallow Protocol, videofluoroscopy, the Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile (MBSimP), flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES), scintigaphy, cervical auscultation, and the Penetration-Aspiration Scale. Treatment for swallowing disorders now includes information about the Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI), palatal obturators, and glossectomy. Chapter 14 on research designs and statistics has been revised to include a brief overview of treatment re-search reviews including meta-analysis. The concept and methods of research data validity has been streamlined and expanded to include ecological and other kinds of validity and generalizability. Chapter 15 on professional issues has updated information about ASHA's strategic objectives and outcomes, ASHA membership, the scope of practice, clinical certification, speech-language pathology assistants, inter professional education, interprofessional practice, and telepractice. The appendix continues to reflect new information based on the newest editions of the Praxis from 2017-2022.
