Answers for worried parents

This book is such a help to any parent wondering about their child's delay in speech or possible speech disorder. Not too technical, but gives the facts about everything from insurance to types of speech therapy. I highly recommend this book to any parent of a child w/ a speech delay and to every speech therapist.

Great Resource for parents who's child is apraxic

This is an excellent resource for Speech Language Pathologists to share with parents who's child you have diagnosed as apraxic. The information is written in a user friendly manner explaining the disorder and intervention very well. The home activities are easy for parents to complete. The information about how to manage the medical and school systems provide parents with the confidence to be an advocate for their child. I found the information about the usage of Omega 3 and 6 with apraxic children to be a revelation which I shared with a family I am working with. This family is going to try the Omega 3 and 6 with their child. This book is a must resource for any Speech Language Pathologist and especially, for the parents of apraxic children.

The Late Talker: What to Do If Your Child Isn't Talking Yet

I am currently doing a critique of this book for my Developmental Psychopathology class for my B.A. in Psychology. I chose this book on my own and I am very impressed and satisfied with my choice.

I think that this is a great read and resource for parents with children who have early signs of delay or are past the language milestone and still have not said their first words or have delayed speech. The authors do a great job of presenting the research, although some information comes a bit later than I would like to see in the book, however, the information is there. I feel that the therapies presented can assist most children with developmental delay, there is no harm in doing the at home therapies, it will just make the child stronger.

Information regarding therapy and intervention from professionals is very crucial especially the information on navigating the school system, legal system and insurance. All parents must know that they are their child's best advocate and this book lets parents know. Another point hit home is that parents should not "wait and see" because this can only further lead to persistent developmental delays if there is an actual serious problem. There is no time to early for Intervention and if you have read this book you should know.

This book is a great resource for any parent looking for assistance with their late talker or child with developmental delays. Great, interesting, and quick read.
