It Takes Two To Talk: A Practical Guide For Parents of Children With Language Delays

I bought this book for my daughter to use to help my 3 year old grandson who has been diagnosed as mildly autistic, due to his inability to talk. It was on a recommendation from a Speech Therapist, and initially I thought it an expensive experiment and did hope it would work. It is a very uncomplicated but exceptionally helpful book and worth the price. In a very short space of time following the advice in the book, my daughter heard my granson call her "mummy" for the first time. His speech has come on tremendously and his vocabulary is expanding every day, just to see his face light up when you "get" what he is saying is a dream come true. He has gained confidence in his ability to communicate and we no longer have as many of the meltdowns which were caused in the main by his frustration at not being able to communicate with us. I would advise anyone who is having problems of this nature with a child, to consider buying this book, as we have found it very helpful.

Another one in full colour illustrations and the accent is on having as much play together as you can in order to encourage your child with more challenges in learning to speak, gives you the stages of learning to speak that you can recognise and gives you the easy way to help your child take the next step. Importantly, helps parents recognise what their child is trying to 'say' in the non-verbal ways, and at one-word stage, etc. Helps keep communication lines open, which is the main point.

A practical must have book for those looking to improve and develop speech ( where possible ) and communication .

I wish I’d bought the book as the kindle version is exceptionally difficult to read (it’s just like a scanned version of the book & not easy to expand or autofit to phone size) and I don’t think I can get a refund as per usual I’ve taken ages to start the book! I’m really annoyed as it looks really good and it’s not cheap on kindle either. If there is anyway of swapping from Kindle to the book I’d massively appreciate it.

Perfect, as described. A really good book to help understand and create strategies for a child that has a speech and language delay — I bought this for my son who is three-years-old with autism.

Just what was needed

It is very useful book for the special needs, and arrival was on time. I am reading in the meantime.

Good book
