Speech Delay: Its Treatment by Speech Play.
Craft, Michael
Directed to parents, the text discusses normal and delayed speech development and considers the causes of delay. Suggestions are given for helping deaf, emotionally disturbed, brain damaged, and physically handicapped children. Additional suggestions are provided for parents of twins, of stutterers, and of mongoloid or multiply handicapped children. Directions are given for teaching the right words and for handling difficult ones. Speech play at school and special, self care, speech situations are described; the art of conversation and the parents' relationship with professionals are discussed. Appendixes list a suggested first 50-word vocabulary, speech exercises, and materials and equipment. (JD)
