Format:Paperback
I bought this as a starting point to figure out why my child wasn't talking, I soon realised it wasn't because of apraxia (which the book primarily focusses on) so it became a little redundant. If your child does have apraxia or oral dyspraxia I imagine it would be great, it's well written and explains the condition clearly.

The Late Talker book is like a guiding light through a turbulent storm. Finally a book geared toward both parents and professionals written in a clear "how to" way to help any child that needs help talking. The Late Talker is the first book that breaks down the needed medical, educational and speech information into language that anyone can understand--and intertwines it all with stories any parent can relate to.
As a mother of two late talking children, diagnosed in later years with a speech disorder, I now know how critical it is to seek appropriate services as early as possible, and the importance of knowing the difference between a speech delay and a speech disorder. How I searched for information when my boys were growing up speech and language impaired! Not just on therapy--but on where to go, which professionals to see and what to expect, what to look for in the school, how to deal with the teasing and the fears -only to find nothing out there in books to help me to help my children. What I would have given to have had this valuable information when both my sons were younger. I
hope it makes the world brighter for children like mine - and "brings them a voice." For this reason, The Late Talker book brings tears to my eyes.
Hats off to co-authors, Dr. Marilyn Agin, Malcolm Nicholl, and Lisa Geng for creating this book and for teaching how to be the voice for your child, until your child's voice is unlocked.

not quite what i was looking for, consentrates more on various syndromes. all i need is common sense advice for a toddler who won't talk.
