Review: Highly Recommend This Book - It's amazing how much I as a person took the ease of speech for granted, until my son's early language regressed. And then, it was like watching someone who had a stroke who lost all speech trying to regain it. It is hands down one of his biggest deficits. This book was recommended to me by a speech therapist who was covering for his first speech therapist while she was on maternity leave. This book really dovetails well with DIR Floortime. But aside from that, it gives excellent explanations of the different types and stages of communicators, and provides strategies for how to increase communication with your child whatever stage they are at, and how to help get them moved towards the next stage. It covers a lot of communication strategies that you can try with your child. In the beginning, after our son lost speech, we tried sign, but his fine motor struggles were profound enough that frustrated him so much because he couldn't reproduce most of them. We next used the guidelines in this book as we introducing PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System), and that alone did amazing things for our son, because he then had a way to communicate to us for the things he wanted that he could do, and then eventually we were able to transition that to his speech device, and now we are using the techniques in this book to help encourage his emerging verbal skills. We've been giving him the choice lately, for example, of using his device or calling for "mama" when he wakes up needing to go potty in the night (it's one of the few full words he has back), because communication has been so hard for him, we want to let him choose which one he does...and he's starting to pick word approximations some now, though he doesn't have many of them yet, its super exciting. Just this morning he called out "mama" for me to help him on the potty, makes me want to cry just thinking about it. Totally am, actually. We love and highly recommend this book, I have found it invaluable in helping me to help give my son tools that work for him to communicate with us. It's an amazingly cool book.
Review: Very helpful - It's so helpful, has examples/ scenarios which makes it easy to understand. It definitely gave us insight on how to communicate and to know how our daughter understands our speech. Definitely recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic resource that empowers parents
*by R***M on March 24, 2024*

The book looks intimidatingly huge but it’s written in an illustrated, easily digestible format that makes reading 20+ pages at a time pass by in a blink. The examples of autistic behavior/communication they give in the book are extremely relatable, and that gives me a wonderful feeling that the author sees/understands both my child and me as his parent. (Which is priceless!) The information is presented in simple, clear language at a pace that never feels overwhelming. I am finding it very helpful so far. With this book I understand exactly what communication stage my child is in and how to help him advance to the next stage. I recommend buying a used copy if you can. Don’t delay like I did. I wish I bought it 1.5 years ago when my son was first diagnosed at 19 months. It would have saved me a lot of heartache and worry if I had this resource back then, simply by giving me a better sense of understanding and power over our situation.
