Complete Description

Let's face it: Apraxic children are a puzzle. Their speech and language problems can baffle parents, teachers, and therapy professionals. 

Based on the observations of Jean Piaget and his pioneering research into the development of imitation in young children, Becoming Verbal with Childhood Apraxia illustrates new, effective methods that have helped many of these children learn to:

• Acquire speech
• Dialogue with others
• Watch for and expect responses from others
• Notice what they can say themselves
• Rehearse and master their own productions
