Publisher's summary

There isn’t a single parenting book that describes the extent of a parent’s worries. We worry about everything from their health to their happiness to the little scrape on their knee to their future careers. But it’s the signs of developmental delays that really keep us up at night.

According to Mencap, there are approximately 351,000 children in the UK with a learning disability. In the US, 17 percent of children have delays in physical, learning, language, or behavior development. It doesn’t stop there. Worldwide, there are around 18.5 million people with speech, voice, or language disorders!

If you yourself don’t have or never have had a speech and language delay or disorder, it’s nearly impossible to understand what your little one is going through. And this can be a parent’s worst nightmare—wanting to help and not knowing where to begin. Logically, the first step is to start the diagnosis process to get professional help, but trust me, as a speech and language therapist, the waiting list is horrendous and does nothing to help with the essential early intervention that children need. So, as well as your job, your other children, the cleaning, the shopping, the homework, the washing, the ironing, the uniforms, the afterschool activities, oh, and the cooking, you now have to research how to help your children with their speech, language, and social interaction skills!

What if one book could take just a fraction of that pressure off you? In Speech Therapy For Toddlers, we have lightened the load and you will discover:

• 81 recipes from sweets to savories from all over the world and with ingredients at hand!
• Recipes that have been specifically created to develop speech sounds for every child
• 107 games and activities related to speech sounds to reinforce the sound they have learned in the recipe
• Yoga and exercises to help children stay active as well as healthy habits and safety advice
• Counting and sorting to develop learning while diving into the cultures of other countries
• How to make glamourous asparagus

Intrigued? What about:

• Slime you can put on your toast?
• Tracing and cutting to develop fine motor skills
• STEM-based activities like how to grow watercress, what plants need to grow, exploring space, and protecting our environment
• Hundreds of coloring activities based on specific sounds that will entertain your children while you get to catch up on other things—guilt-free!

A perfect gift for any parent who just has too much on their plate!

How do you know this book will be appropriate for your child’s age? We are breaking away from the dangerous habit of labeling children and comparing them to children in the same age group. Your child is unique.

They will struggle in some areas and excel in others. Stop stressing about what they “should” be doing and start having fun by playing with your child and let learning occur in the best possible way—naturally!

If you are ready to get messy in the kitchen, have fun, and help your child learn, add this book to your cart today!

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Excellent Idea for Family Time

I don’t have a family with speech need, but still this book contains great recipes for family fun time. The therapy portion, another brilliant idea is an added bonus.
Lots of valuable work !

Great ideas!

My son used to have a speech delay. He is a graduate now from the program. But I also have a younger son that is in the stage of learning how to talk. This is a different technique. I have never thought about speech therapy with cooking before. Even though he is not diagnosed yet because he is still young. I want to be able to teach my son ahead using this method as well so he doesn't have to be stuck with speech delay. This is a great idea for kids. I think I can use this method to teach them how to read early also.

Simple and fun

This book is full of simple yet practical ideas to help your young ones develop in their speech as well as working well with others. The information in the book will help them develop interpersonal relationships, how to collaborate, and all the while having fun making delicious food.

Connecting and learning through happy moments

As an educator, play-based learning has always been at the top of my list when it comes to positive approaches to a child's development. This book offers a new dimension, an opportunity to connect with our children whilst optimising their learning potential. The speech therapy component is interesting and allows to put emphasis on proper sounds depending on their development and age. An excellent listen to promote your child's development through fun bonding activities.

Excellent!

Clearly narrated, wonderful job with all the exercises, great for personal use and for the speech pathologist, could be assigned as home work for the patients and at the same time, could be used as a conversation starter about how was your dinner! Interesting recipes step by step!

Helpful Resource

This is a great resource for a parent of a child with speech development concerns or delays. The exercises involve food which makes it fun and the implementation of the recipe and cooking utilizes key SLP skills. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to others.

Super Helpful Resource

As a parent of a child with speech and language delays, I was overwhelmed and frustrated with the lack of resources available. However, Speech Therapy For Toddlers was a game-changer. The audiobook offers an incredible variety of activities, games, and recipes that are fun and engaging for both children and parents, while also helping to develop speech and language skills. This book has been an indispensable resource for our family, and I highly recommend it to any parent who wants to support their child's speech and language development.

This is such a fun and interesting way to help kids with speech therapy. It has been really well thought out and put together and includes some great activities for kids. The recipes are really easy to follow - you can literally just press play and follow along. My kids loved it

Very Practical

I absolutely love the creative and integrated approach! I always supported initiatives for the less fortunate. This audiobook imparts learning, developing interpersonal skills and entertainment together in one. I look forward to more of the same.

Like the way it explained

Very performative book with well written chapters and good narration for each topic. Recommend it for folks who are interested in this topic.
