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

Book Review: Why you should see a speech therapist.
Summary: 2 Stars

The first half of this book explains why children who are late talkers should be rushed to a speech therapist, complete with all the research to support why you should "run not walk" to a speech therapist.

The second half of the book gives parents some useful ideas for helping a late-talker, particularly if the child has apraxia. Mine doesn't. Luckily for me, I got the book from the library, so at least I didn't feel the disappointment of having wasted money.

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

Every parent eagerly awaits the day his or her child will speak for the first time. For millions of mothers and fathers, however, anticipation turns to anxiety when those initial, all-important words are a long time coming. Many worried parents are reassured that their child is "just a late talker," but unfortunately, that is not always the case. Balanced with a mother's perspective and an acclaimed doctor's experience, this book gives parents advice on:
*Finding the right therapy and therapist
*Negotiating with school boards, teachers, and language specialists
*Speech exercises to do at home with a child.
The Late Talker is the first book of its kind, providing effective, practical answers to the questions every concerned parent asks.
