I found this DVD excellent. It dealt very clearly with the stages of speech and communication development and it helped me understand how my son processes information. There are lots of ideas and examples for parents to try. I liked that the parent was the facilitator while the narrator explained. I will be coming back to this a few times as my little boy grows.

Clear explanations with visual examples of each exercise which makes them really easy to understand and apply to your own child.

I was inspired to make a book for our grandchild focusing on the B sound so I photographed family members and toys holding balls and stuck them in an exercise book.

Excellent DVD on how to optimise speech and language. Huge amount of information so needs to be watched throughout the pre-school years as they go through their stages.

Lovely children. Some useful ideas of activities to do.

Very good resorce. The only thing I would fault is that the children interact in a very clinical way. But, the information is very valuable.
