By Pamela Marshalla
Learn how to facilitate the emergence of sound and speech in non-verbal and minimally verbal children. This resource is based on the original writings of Jean Piaget and Pam Marshalla's three decades of clinical work with apraxic children. It contains profound yet practical tools for helping children with severe apraxia and other forms of speech and language delay or disorder learn to talk, to speak up, speak out, play with sounds and words, and become much more expressive. Appropriate for children one year of age and above. If you are looking for a place to begin reading about how to help young children with a severe expressive speech delay or disorder, this is it.
