Speech Therapy for 0-5 Year-Olds

By Helen Oakmoor

Discover how to let your child's voice be heard through the power of games, books, and toys… even if you feel completely helpless and out of ideas. Does your child have delayed speech and language skills, but you're not entirely sure what this means?

Are you afraid that your child may never learn to talk or will learn to talk too late? You want your child to speak earlier than the neighbour's kids, but this leads to a lot of frustration and guilt...If this sounds like you, Helen Oakmoor understands your story and wants to let you know that your child is in good hands.

As a parent, you always want the best for your child. If you think your child is at risk for language difficulties, the last thing you want to do is wait around. But it's scary not to know how to approach such a delicate situation...And the truth is, your fear of the unknown can sometimes be worse than the situation itself.

Luckily, the missing piece that will help you and your child overcome the challenges that a speech and language delay brings is closer than you think.

Helen Oakmoor, a speech and language therapist, is on a mission to help parents understand language development through the power of games! You'll benefit from her methods, especially if you're someone who:

Has a child who displays problematic behaviours around speech and language development

Feels lost and doesn't know if their child has a delay or a disorder

Struggles to engage your child with language development

Doesn't understand how the power of games can help with speech development

Dedication

I want to dedicate this book to my children. I want to say that I love you all very much and I know you will do great things in your lives! I am already immensely proud of all of you for being such wonderful human beings!

I also want to give a special mention to my precious little ‘great niece’ who was late with her talking. Her mum was so worried and anxious about her delayed talking and wondered if she would ever talk properly. Both mother and daughter inspired me to write this book to help them both and many other parents who might be in the same situation.

By the way she is a little chatterbox now!

Introduction

5 Minutes A Day! It’s nothing, we probably spend more time checking emails or cleaning up the toys. Nevertheless, these are invaluable. This is the minimum time you should spend ‘teaching’ early interaction skills to your child. It is important to begin by saying that these strategies are for helping typically developing children, however, they can also be used with children who have Special Needs.

These strategies are easy to follow and implement in your daily routines with your child whether you are at home or out and about, all you need is a minimum of 5 minutes a day.
