This third book in the \u003ci\u003eChildren’s Speech and Literacy Difficulties\u003c\/i\u003e series is based on research and practice with school-age children with persisting speech and associated difficulties.  It focuses on the psycholinguistic nature of their difficulties, how to design intervention programmes and how intervention outcomes might be measured.  \u003cp\u003eIn order to effectively treat school-age children with longstanding speech difficulties practitioners need to draw on a variety of approaches, e.g. combining a psycholinguistic approach with a linguistic (or more specifically, phonological) approach.  Theory and therapy are inseparable and our knowledge of theory needs to be used to drive therapy.  In turn, therapy outcomes can inform our theoretical knowledge.  In order to build evidence-based programmes, we need to evaluate therapy outcomes using wide-ranging outcomes measures that can evaluate change at a variety of levels.  Case studies are a useful way forward in learning more about children with speech difficulties and how to support them.   \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePersisting Speech Difficulties\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003ein Children:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e \u003cli\u003eserves as a practical handbook, containing useful word lists, tips and sheets for photocopying.    \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eprovides a means of accessing a wide range of literature.
