Let's face it: Apraxic children are a puzzle. Their speech and language problems can baffle parents, teachers and therapy professionals. Based on the observations of Jean Piaget and his poineering research into the development of imitation in young children, this book illustrates new, effective methods that have helped many of these children to: acquire speech, dialogue with others, watch for and expect responses from others, develop consonants and vowels and rehearse and master their own productions. The author's techniques have been sharpened by over two decades of helping nonverbal apraxic children become more active in their own therapy and become highly verbal.
