Summary: Buy This Book. It Works.
Review: I would recommend this to anyone who's child is having a hard time learning speech, whether they have autism or not. From this book, I have picked up several wonderful new ways to interact, as well as insights into the way a child thinks, and how to get a child's attention. The book breaks things down in such a way that you can easily pick out which things will and won't work with your child and develop your own plan on what is best. As a side note, the illustrations are very enjoyable and cute.

Summary: Buy This Book. It Works.
Review: No dogma, no "one-size-fits-all" program - just a lot of playful but powerful techniques to help build a child's communication and social skills in the context of everyday life. Unlike many books on autism, this one is jargon-free and easy for an exhausted parent or teacher to read. It doesn't dumb its ideas down, but presents them clearly and memorably (with charming illustrations). I work with kids with autism, and lend out a lot of books to people looking for more information - time and time again, this is the one I've seen people grab onto as a lifeline.

Summary: ...excellent book for parents of children slow to speak
Review: This book provides a very neccessary complement to speech therapy for children with autism and related disorders. The presentation is lively, easy to read, jargon-free, respectful of children and families, and clearly laid out. Most importantly, this book helps parents and professionals identify a child's communication level, select relevant goals, and plan effective interventions. This will be an integral part of our collaboration with families.

Summary: ...excellent book for parents of children slow to speak
Review: This book was recommended to me by my son's speech therapist. This book was easy to understand and use. Best of all, it offered ideas and solutions that cost little or no money to try, just the time and effort to play with your child and observe the tools effectiveness. It has helped a lot with helping my son to develop a working vocabulary.
