Home-Based Speech and Language Development: A Guide for Parents of Late Talkers (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798902961826)

This guide is designed to help PARENTS teach their child to talk.

These signs show that they are READY to work with you.

You see they are LISTENING to learn language from videos, rhymes, or Ms. Rachel.

They have started experimenting with repeating words, echolalia, gestalt scripts.

They can be hyper-focused for complex information (Einstein Syndrome).

You have heard speech or caught them watching themselves "talk" in the mirror.

You may have been told in an evaluation that your child's age, nonverbal status, short attention, and stimming behaviors mean that they will never use speech...BUT you have heard them occasionally say the right words at home OR they sometimes copy things that you say.

AND you can tell in your heart that they really do want to talk!

Has Therapy Failed to Result in REAL speech?

Unfortunately, the popular therapy models try to CONTROL the child's language learning through bribes, manipulation, sign language, PECS, and endless requests and prompts to imitate or "use their words".

Speech and language development should feel EASY and FUN.

With this guide, now YOU have the opportunity to plan and execute FUNctional speech and language learning EVERY day at home.

You will learn how to supercharge your everyday housekeeping, cooking, yardwork, and parenting activities (and more) into natural language facilitation opportunities with strategies that make life EASIER.

With progress so fast, the strategies in this guide will become your NEW toolbox.
