Synopsis:

Let’s Get Talking is a speech-language therapy companion guide for parents of children diagnosed with an expressive language delay or disorder, or childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Carry-over of skills from therapy to the home environment increases the rate of success as your child is learning to produce their first words. Use the verbal and tactile cues, as well as visual signs and prompts described to help your child meet their next achievable step in functional communication, and reduce communicative frustration. Bright illustrations make this helpful guide easy to share with your child.

• The step-by-step guide for producing words is loosely based on the evidence-based method of DTTC (Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing). This method is effective for children with a CAS diagnosis, however the method can also be helpful for delayed talkers without CAS.

• 14 functional first words (e.g., me, no, up, stop, hi, help, eat)

• 12 cut-out flash cards for practice on-the-go.

Disclaimer: This book is intended for use in conjunction with speech-language therapy, and in light of your speech language pathologist’s treatment plan. Rate of progress will depend on the severity and complexity of your child’s receptive and/or expressive language diagnosis.
