      PART I: OVERVIEW

      Introduction

      Families are excited when their baby takes her first step or says her first word. Will it be mama or dada? At what age will this happen? When does the little child speak sentences and communicate her needs, wants and respond to her parents? There is a great variation in the ages when these language skills develop and appear. Errors in pronunciation are cute in little children and become part of a family's lore. But suppose the errors persist, the child has difficulty with some sounds, the child is slower to speak than some other member of the family, or a friend's child does not have the same problems? Parents want to know the answers to the following questions:

      ● What is normal speech development?

      ● Is my child’s speech slow, normal or advanced?

      ● Is there a problem?

      ● Will he or she outgrow it?

      ● What if the problem continues?

      ● When should a good parent ask for help?

      ● What resources are available?

      Teachers often suggest referrals to parents who are concerned about their child’s progress. This book serves that same purpose. If you are concerned about your child’s speech development, use this book to survey and analyze her pattern of errors and make an informed decision. When in doubt, refer!

      Speech Is Sound Advice is an outstanding tool to help parents, teachers and other concerned professionals informally evaluate a child’s speech development. The survey section will assist you in evaluating your child’s current speech skills, the underlying auditory perception abilities and word attack skills. There are guidelines for normal development and simple suggestions for helping your child with a problem sound. Referrals are very important in speech and are indicated as appropriate.

      How to Use this Book

      Parents often have concerns about a particular child's speech development. Use these informal surveys of your child’s speech and auditory perception skills to evaluate her progress. Now you can determine if a child's development is normal, advanced, or slow for her age. Most importantly, if your child has difficulties, you will be referred to the school speech/language specialist and the study team for professional evaluation. However, if you identify a few sounds which normally cause difficulty at her age, help her using the appropriate suggestions listed below.

      Don’t teach all the lessons in this book as a review. Accept the areas where your child’s speech is clear and focus on the problem areas. All input including suggestions and corrections are gratefully received. Inquiry@heronpub.com

      This book is divided into 3 parts: The first is a discussion of speech, speech problems, symptoms and causes, a discussion of auditory perception problems, symptoms and causes, and a survey of phonics and other word attack skills. Second, use the scoring and evaluation sections to analyze and interpret the results. Third, use the series of recommendations to help you choose exercises and teaching techniques that will match your child’s learning style. Use a variety of methods to help your child pronounce
