Second edition of Interventions for Speech Sound Disorders in Children (ISSDC) celebrations

We have just submitted the final version of the manuscript for the second edition of Interventions for Speech Sound Disorders in Children (ISSDC). We still have the copyediting, typesetting and publication ahead, but this week marks a very significant milestone. It has been a joy to work with Lynn Williams and Rebecca McCauley as co-editors on this important book and Astrid Zuckerman, Liz Gildea and Tess Hoffman from Paul H. Brookes Publishing Co. The book should be ready for use in classes at the beginning of 2021.
Celebrating submission of the manuscript for the second edition of ISSDC
From the Preface and Acknowledgments
Cover of the first edition
It has been 10 years since the publication of the first edition of Interventions for Speech Sound Disorders in Children (ISSDC)... The first serious discussions to revise our book occurred at the 2016 American Speech-Language-Hearing Association convention in Philadelphia at a dinner with a number of our phonology colleagues. From there the work began, but changes in our lives and work meant the second edition took longer than expected. Because of this we are especially grateful for the patience of our publisher and for the generosity and expertise of the chapter authors who so effectively shared their knowledge of each intervention while meeting the constraints of the organizational structure of this book. We both appreciate and enjoyed working with so many of the world’s foremost authors and researchers in treating speech sound disorders in children. This book exists because of their dedication and work to make a difference in children’s lives.
