Play to Talk: A Practical Guide to Help Your Late-Talking Child Join the Conversation

By James MacDonald, Ph.D., and Pam Stoika, Ph.D.

Kiddo Publishing, 2007; $16.95; www.playtotalk.com. While it’s a must-have for families struggling with a late-talking or non-communicating child, this highly readable book is also great for any parent who wants to reach his child and find out what the child has to say. One of our favorite concepts is the idea of “people play” – just you and your child without toys or stuff, which develops socialization, communication and human engagement.
