Empowering book for parents of late talking children,
By
This review is from: Play To Talk: A Practical Guide to Help Your Late-Talking Child Join the Conversation (Perfect Paperback)
Play to Talk is an easy to read "how to" book that will empower parents to take fun, effective steps not just to develop their childs speech but to develop real communication and conversation. The method is easy to learn and does not require any long boring speech therapy sessions at home. It simply teaches you how to engage with your child, and how to turn every encounter in normal life into an easy opportunity to improve your child's communication and conversation, right through from totally non-verbal kids to in-depth conversation.
With this method I no longer feel helpless in teaching my daughter to communicate well.

A Must Have!,
By woodsmc1 "Mike" (St. Louis, Mo) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Play To Talk: A Practical Guide to Help Your Late-Talking Child Join the Conversation (Perfect Paperback)
I purchased this book because I wanted to learn how to help my boys (diagnosed with autism) become more social. Wow! Did I learn!
The book details the strategies needed to motivate your child to want to be socially responsive, assess what YOU need to be doing, and develop a plan to help you figure out how to make it work on a day-to-day basis, plus so much more. In addition, it is written in a way that is easily understandable with no technical jargon. I cannot say enough about how practical and useful this book is. A must have for parent's and professionals.
