Summary: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT TALKING YET OR EVEN HE/SHE HAS APRAXIA
Comment: DO NOT READ THIS BOOK EVEN IF YOUR CHILD IS NOT TALKING YET OR EVEN IF HE/SHE HAS APRAXIA
We bought this book since our 18 month old was only speaking few words. We wanted to learn strategies to help her talk more. Wrong book!!
This book is DEPRESSING... it really gave us sleepless nights... the stories in this book are very very depressing. Stories in this book are traumatizing for us. We love childres alot and to envision these truamatizing stories for any child is horrible. We were so ourselves very concerned reading all this stuff.
The author does not try to give reader an solace instead keeps on jamming more horror stories. Author does not mention (aleast in first half of book) are several children who have 'resolved' their apraxia through theraphy and other method. You can even youtube this and you will feel better.
There are several good websites with tons of infomration on Apraxia so go there if your child has apraxia. This book will make you feel helpless and defeated.
Moreover apraxia cannot even be diagnosed before kid is 3 year old. SO DO NOT read this book if your kid is younger than than. This book is scary.
There is just 1 good thing I learnt in this book and that is about using Fish oils regularly as they aid brain development. Any parent can do that regardless of apraxia or not.
In summary: BEWARE AND STAY AWAY .... !!!!!

Summary: Why you should see a speech therapist.
Comment: 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: Good for Apraxia
Comment: It is unfortunate that this book has the title "The Late Talker" because when I saw it, I was like many other reviewers here who thought it would be a more comprehensive guide to possible causes and/or strategies that can be adopted for late talking children. While Apraxia is alarmingly under diagnosed, there are other causes that would have been great additions to the book. The advice is great and the IEP chapter is a wonderful addition because the IEP process can be so daunting for parents, especially if you are in an unhelpful and inconsistent school district like I am.

Summary: Great Resource for parents who's child is apraxic
Comment: 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 to be a revelation which I shared with a family I am working with. This family is going to try the Omega 3 and 6 with their child. This book is a must resource for any Speech Language Pathologist and especially, for the parents of apraxic children.
