Release Body: As a parent/caregiver for a child the drive to protect
their well-being is overwhelming, however many parents do not
realize that speech and/or language disorders frequently turn
innocent children into targets for their peers. The Wikipedia
- an online encyclopedia states “suffering from a speech
disorder can have negative social effects, especially among young
children“. Parents can improve speech and language in the
privacy of their own home with the Building Better Speech
Manual - A guide to speech and language development
and intervention. Education is important to parents but
many do not recognize the relationship between a child’s
language ability and academic performance. “Children with
communication disorders frequently do not perform at grade level”
(American Speech and Hearing Association - website). It is imperative
that every child have the tools for success, therefore if speech
and/or language intervention is necessary one must be pro-active
to prevent long-term learning and communication issues.
The manual is easy to read, and can be used for children as young
as 9 months. Developmental charts, definitions, activities and
sound loaded word lists are included. Building Better
Speech Manual - A guide to speech and language development and
intervention is available now at BarnesandNoble.com,
Amazon.com and BuildingBetterSpeech.com for $24.95.
