"Based on 30 years of clinical research "Play To Talk" empowers parents with proven strategies and step-by-step instructions to help children of any age learn to talk and develop essential skills for conversational relationships and social interactions. This program turns everyday play sessions and social interactions between your child and family members into opportunities to foster language development, relationship skills and positive behavior - without taking the fun out of being together." - BOOK JACKET
Both authors have extensive experience working with children on social development and speech language interventions. Their collaboration in writing Play to talk has resulted in a resource that gives parents a step-by-step guide for helping their children develop conversational skills, social relationships and positive behavior.
This resource is easy to read, full of suggestions and focuses on enjoyment as the basis for developing the relationship and trust between parents and their children. James and Pam are particularly interested in everyday play sessions and family activities within the home as the basis for their activities.
Play to talk will be useful for those parents whose children are either not talking, or are speaking but rarely engaging in conversations; may be having difficulty developing friendships or are engaging in behaviors that disrupt relationships and learning.
