You need an expert to give you information in straight language that you can understand and put to work. Mary Lou Johnson has helped hundreds of parents help their children learn to talk better in over 30 years of work as a speech-language pathologist. Mary Lou is a respected clinician who produces positive results with children who have been diagnosed with speech and/or language problems - mild to profound. Mary Lou wants to share with you the techniques she has developed and shaped over 30 years at The Children's Hospital, Denver, Colorado. She received a Masters Degree from Washington University in St. Louis after studying at the Central Institute for the Deaf (CID). At CID, hearing impaired and profoundly deaf children were taught to speak. The specialized skills used at CID to help hard of hearing and deaf children work through their speech difficulties have been invaluable to Mary Lou when working with hearing children. Some therapists seem to dabble in articulation therapy and have trouble moving children forward. For Mary Lou, speech roduction therapy and children's speech progress is her passion. Mary Lou also loves to help parents understand the differences between speech and language, help them figure
out why their children aren't speaking better, help children say words their parents have never heard them say before, and empower parents to help their children speak more in everyday activities. You need specific ideas spelled out clearly ...by a person who can teach you the ropes. If you want to learn how to understand your child's challenges in learning to talk, learn techniques to help your child talk more or more clearly, and use everyday activities to work with your child - Mary Lou will help you do it through this informative eBook! You will find Mary Lou's writing style to be very clear and straight- forward, practical, and easy to understand. And you will be pleased and impressed by the wealth of information she provides.
