Great resource for mom's with preemies like me.

I wish this book was available when I was navigating the world of developmental clinics and therapists as the mom of a micro-preemie with developmental delays. It was all very overwhelming. This book offers a step by step guide to assess your child's developmental progress and recommends a plan to find the resources and support they need. The book is not overly clinical, it's a quick read/listen and is a very informative resource. The author clearly defines the role of the speech therapist and includes helpful tips and examples to help care givers provide a fun and supportive learning environment.

I wish I had this book sooner!

As a parent of a smart but late-talking child, I was thrilled to come across this book by Kim Gallo. Her expertise as a speech-language pathologist shines through in every chapter, and I found myself nodding along with her advice and insights. Gallo stresses the importance of early intervention and gives concrete tips on how to access the resources your child needs. I also appreciated her thorough exploration of topics like sign language, language delays/disorders, and sensory issues. It was clear to me that Gallo truly understands what children like mine might be experiencing, and I feel much more equipped to support my child thanks to her guidance. I highly recommend this book to any parent in a similar situation.

Great information!

A Chat with the Speech Therapist is going to be helpful to many parents who are concerned about their child displaying communication delays. The author describes what to look for and ways of working with your child toward their development. The narration is also excellent! Highly recommended!

Short and sweet. Just to the point

"A Chat with the Speech Therapist" is a treasure trove of insights in a short package. Kim Gallo's expertise shines as she unravels the world of late-talking children. This audiobook provides solace, guidance, and actionable steps. A great listen that empowers with knowledge for early intervention and effective support. Great for young parents who need motivation and assurance that their late little talker can come out ahead with the right awareness and tools.

Perfect for my 2.5yr old

Lovely additional resource for my 2.5yr old son who is a late talker. He has been to an SLP a couple times and had a hard time concentrating (since he's 2 lol) but this audiobook he tends to be drawn to more.

Love that I can continue working on his speech at home without paying for a therapist.

Would recommend.
