Little Blue Truck...Books in Speech Therapy for Toddlers

Join pediatric speech-language pathologist Laura Mize of teachmetotalk.com as she demonstrates effective strategies for using books in speech therapy for toddlers with speech-language delays.

Toddlers need to hear things over and over and over in order to learn how to understand and then say a new word! I'll include the other "themes" and special techniques in a follow up post...
