%X This chapter begins with a review of some of the central aspects of the distinctive sound system of Spanish, including the segmental and suprasegmental aspects and the relationship to components of morphology and syntax. Next, methods, procedures, tools and techniques for assessment and intervention are described, highlighting clinical findings and their contribution to normal and pathological models, with an emphasis on the differences between Spanish and English. Finally, future research lines to improve the assessment and intervention of motor speech disorders in Spanish speakers are identified.
