Amazing Information

I am loving this book. I am about half-way through. I am going to be working in Early Intervention and this book has been so informational! It is very easy to understand and is very well written. I would definately suggest this book to anyone who wants or needs to know more about Developmental Delays.

Very Informative...BUT

This book is very informative, easy to read, and has great lists of milestones/development to look for in your child. If you already know that your child is delayed, and your child already receives services, you really don't need this book. This is more for a parent who's child has not been identified as delayed, but you have a suspicion he/she may be delayed.

A must have resource for parenting babies and children with developmental delays.

A must have resource for anyone who wishes to learn more about identifying and parenting babies and children with developmental delays. The quality of the identification and explanation of the various types of delays and disabilities is exceptional and will be useful to any parent who is worried about these issues. Normal development, indications of problems, specific examples, parenting suggestions, and treatment are presented in each chapter in a well thought out and informative manner. The overall tone of the book is encouraging and supportive for parents who are concerned about their children. This book provides a wealth of information for parents and professionals. It would be an invaluable addition to any library and for any teacher, doctor or therapist who works with parents.
