The Late Talker is the first book of its kind, providing effective, practical answers to the questions every concerned parent asks.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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 ... Read More
Rating:  - Title is misleading
The title suggests that the book will provide instructions on how to help a late talker in developing speech. Rather it sends you into a panic that your child has Apraxia.Allow me to save you 13 bucks, if your child isnt babbling by 18 months, just get your child to your doctor for an evaluation...simple!

Rating: - Dyspraxia is a very rare disorder
I found this book very alarmist, offensive and exclusive of many other types of speech delays and clinical conditions that may present by a child being delayed in speech. Its focus was mainly on Dsypraxia, which is actually a very rare condition and can not be accurately diagnosed before the age of 5. Once I read the background and affiliation of the author, I understood why she wrote the book. I feel that parents should understand that the "labels du jour" that many institutions are placing on our late ... Read More
Rating: - 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.
