Speech and Language Development
The Late Talker… is an excellent resource for parents of children who have speech and language delays and disorders. While it is geared towards parents of children with Verbal Apraxia it provides excellent guidance to any parent who is trying to navigate through the confusing system of evaluations, diagnosis, and treatment for a child with a speech and language disability. This book also provides insight for therapists who work with these children as many parents tell their stories of both the frustration and success while learning about their child's disability and searching for the most appropriate and beneficial intervention available. -Isa Marrs

These are two excellent and highly recommended books for any parent, parent to be, nutritionist, feeding therapist, babysitter, child care providers etc…Child of Mine is the revised and updated version however both books provide excellent information regarding the "division of responsibility" when feeding infants and children as well excellent nutritional information. Her philosophy helps to alleviate the stress that often accompanies mealtimes and allows the feeding experience to be positive and enjoyable.

Sensory
The Out-of-Sync Child, by Carol Stock Kranowitz, MA
Do you know a child who plays too rough, is uncoordinated, hates being touched, is ultra-sensitive (or unusually insensitive) to noise or sensations of heat and cold? Many pediatricians and other experts are beginning to recognize a link between some of these apparently unrelated behavior patterns. Children with perfectly normal "far senses" (such as sight and hearing) may have, because of a poorly integrated nervous system, serious problems with their "near senses," including touch, balance, and internal muscle sensation. It's called Sensory Integration Dysfunction, or SI. The announcement of yet another new syndrome is bound to raise skeptical eyebrows--and with good reason. (How do we know which child really has SI, and which one just happens to share some of the same symptoms?) Author Carol Stock Kranowitz argues convincingly, however, that for some children SI is a real disorder, and that it is devastating partly because it so often looks like nothing so much as "being difficult." And, whatever the scientific status of SI, Kranowitz carefully details many routines and remedies that will help children--and the parents of children--who exhibit the behaviors described. This book is a must-read for all doctors, pediatricians, and (perhaps especially) childcare workers. -amazon review
