Does My Child Have a Speech Problem?
Certified speech-language pathologist Martin has written an excellent book for parents concerned about their children's speech and language development. The book provides answers to the 50 most common questions about children's speech and includes strategies for parents as well as answers to each question. Upon first reading, the question-and-answer format appears to make it difficult to locate specific speech problems, but this is corrected by the very thorough index. The text's six parts address stuttering and fluency issues, articulation issues, listening and auditory processing skills, and issues of the voice and then provide resources for parents. Martin's writing style is clear and engaging, making this slim volume a quick, easy read.
