Why Does a Child Need Speech? Dialogues Between a Neurologist and a Speech Therapist on the Development of Special Children

Autism, alalia, Down syndrome, developmental delay... If a child has one of these diagnoses, the question for parents is relevant: «Will my child ever speak?» The group of children's neurological clinics «Forecast» in St. Petersburg is an example of how the interaction of neurologists, educators, and parents ensures a leap in the child's development. Every year, hundreds of children who were considered unteachable and hopeless begin to speak. This book discusses how parents can play a role in this.
