For millions of mothers and fathers, however, anticipation turns to anxiety when those initial, all-important words are a long time coming. Many worried parents are reassured that their child is just a late talker, but unfortunately, all too often that is not the case. Nineteen million children in the United States have serious speech disorders, such as apraxia of speech. For these toddlers, early and intensive speech therapy is crucial if they are to stand a chance of ever speaking normally. This book was written to help the worried parent cut through the confusion and stress to determine if their child needs help. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Late Talker\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book of its kind, providing effective, practical answers to the questions every concerned parent asks.
