This review is from: Children's Speech, Language and Hearing : The Answer Book (Paperback)

A very easy-to-read book with simple explanations and definitions. The underlying theme, however, is "if you have concerns, have your child evaluated by a professional speech - language specialist". There are resources in the back to help you find the specialist you may need. There are a few suggestions on things you can do to help your child if there is a speech or language problem.
