Buy it!!

If your child has any kind of sound problems or just doesn't seem to talk clearly, buy this book. It is interesting and gives you all the information you need. There were fun activities to do with my daughter to help her learn to say her /l/ sounds. She is doing so much better and I am thrilled.

A Wonderful Guide

I was happy to write the foreword for this book because I believe all parents should have this information. The information provided in this book is practical but comprehensive. The numerous exercises you will find throughout the book will show you how to enhance your child's vocabulary and early literacy skils, and will encourage your child's ability to say sounds clearly and correctly.

Very helpful to Parents

This book's highly readable chapters on speech and language development and language stimulation will be very helpful to parents. The chapter that assists parents in determining when professional servies are needed and provides a process of evaluating the quality of those services is particularly strong. Sue T.

A lot of good information

I purchased this book because my son is having trouble saying words. The book gave me so much information about what causes these problems, and activities that I could do with him that were easy and fun. He is talking so much better. This is truly a wonderful resource for any parent and is easy to understand, but very informative and interesting.

Dougherty's Book is a Treasure

(written by Mary Joyce Perskie, Vice President/Bacharach Institute for Rehabilitation) "If your child has an articulation problem, Dougherty's book is a treasure. Her explanations are clear, her advice is sensible and down-to-earth, and the exercises she recommends are clever and engaging. Most of all, she details developmental timelines that will enable parents to recognize and address problems properly, including advice on when and how to seek professional help. Her book is elegantly sensible, informative, and filled with reassuring common-sense strategies."
