KIDS SPEECH MATTERS

 

Reviews and Recommendations:

 

“Sandra is a parent expert on venturing through the education minefield in terms of identifying appropriate schooling (knowing what sort of programs to be looking for), adapting learning strategies for personal use and has a well rounded knowledge base of the roles of different professionals.

She knows what questions need to be asked when seeking services or schooling and the importance of linking services to form a team in supporting children.

Sandra’s initiation of the Language Delay Network is wonderful to help parents connect and learn about their children who experience language delays and disorders.” November 22, 2011

***********************

The journey since Luca’s birth has been an emotional one and Sandra writes about it in a straightforward way which engages and involves the reader easily.  Her aim is to empower other parents of children with a language delay to “be the best advocate … “ for them, and she includes plenty of practical information and tips alongside her own personal story, such as what to look for when choosing a school that will meet your child’s individual needs.

As Sandra says at the start of her book:

“Communication is the most complicated human behaviour, yet it is often taken for granted.”

By the end of the book, I had been given a real insight into one mother’s battle to ensure that her son can develop that behaviour, due to her belief that

“Every child deserves to be able to communicate and learn to the best of their ability.”

Sandra’s journey to support Luca’s learning continues; Luca is now 10 and due to change schools within the next couple of years.

Her aim to empower other parents and to share knowledge, experiences and resources has resulted in the creation of a website – www.languagedelaynetwork.com , which she manages to maintain in her “spare time”!

Summary: Kids speech matters

 

I took my time to read this ebook as I found it a bit lengthy was hard to schedule in reading time with the demands of my children.
As a mother of a child with a speech disorder I found it to be an interesting read and very easy to relate to what the author was saying. I found the links and resources particularly useful and reading this book has given me the courage I need to address my sons schooling issues with alot more confidence.
I would definitely recommend this book to any parent who has a child with a speech disorder.
Such an inspirational uplifting read!

Sandra Ahlquist has written a touching e-book about her and her son’s personal journey dealing with Severe Language Delay and Auditory Processing Disorder.  Reading her book is like having an intimate discussion with a good friend; she narrates the story of her son’s birth through his diagnosis of APD at the age of 10 and intersperses helpful advice she would give to any parent finding themselves in a similar situation.

Sandra’s motivation to write this book was to spread insight into communication delays in young children in the hope of bringing awareness to speech, language, and communication disorders.  With proper recognition, she hopes funding will be better provided to meet the needs of the many students struggling with language based learning disabilities in school.

She hopes no parent will have to struggle as hard as she has to get her son the proper diagnosis and assistance he has needed to be able to communicate and learn.  Like Sandra says, “Every child deserves to be able to communicate and learn to the best of their ability.”

I’m a mum with a 10 year old daughter who has Auditory Processing Disorder, I enjoyed reading Sandra’s book, it was at times like looking into a mirror, its interesting to read it from someone else’s point of view and to realise we are not alone, that others have gone through similar struggles especially with the education system.
I wish Sandra all the best with her book, she has bought great insight and understanding to those of us living with invisible disabilities every day.

***************************
“Kids Speech Matters” is a story of a loving and tenacious mom who has journeyed alongside her son through all of the trials and triumphs that come with having a learning disability.      Sandra gives parents hope, guidance, and encouragement to keep them focused through their own journey. This tale of love, persistence, and understanding is a beautiful one and quite a tribute to her very special son.
