Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Don't Try This At Home - Alone
From the other reviews, I see this book is meant to be used in conjunciton with a course, therapy and coaching from a professional. It is not a "do it yourself" guide, as the name implies. For this reason I am returning it. I am disappointed, but mainly it is my own fault, because I did not carefully read the description and reviews.
Rating:  - Was not like any other book!
I got tired of reading books that told me the specifics of why this was happening to my son instead of telling me how to go about fixing it.

It doesn't tell you what synapses of the brain aren't functioning...it tells you how to engage your child to want to speak with easy daily routines. A definite awesome read for anyone who has a child with speech delay, no matter how trivial or severe.

Rating: - Practical, easy to follow advice
I bought this book because my daughter has Down Syndrome and her language is delayed. We had been offered a place on a Hannen course, but it was cancelled, so I thought I'd try the book instead.
It is well written, with illustrations that expand on the text giving examples of the suggested techniques. The advice is well explained, and the techniques easy to follow. The advice intuitively feels right when you follow it, but despite seeming like common sense it is useful having it all written down, ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent communication foundation
We took the Hanen class which uses this book. It's a fantastic resource -- I recommend findng a class too if you can; ours is offered free through the state for children who need it.
Our son went from being completely toy-focused and hard to interact with to now initiating communication and really opening up to us. His speech has also improved dramatically during this time. While our ultimate goals have to do more with articulation, we found this book (and class) to be a great start to increasing ... Read More
