Made with 160 practice questions
A Realistic Speech Therapy Guide for Parents and Therapists

Who are the key partners in speech therapy? Parents.
It is no exaggeration to say that parental intervention is crucial to the success or failure of treatment, especially for children with delayed language development.
This book is a practical guide written by speech-language pathologists who specialize in speech-language therapy and have worked with countless children and parents in clinical settings. The authors, who range from doctoral researchers to experienced therapists and special education practitioners, will provide reliable answers that combine expertise and practicality, based on the most frequently asked questions from parents.

Unlike existing theory-centered speech therapy books, this book focuses on the format of “parents asking questions and experts answering.”
Among the 160 questions posed by approximately 200 domestic first- and second-level speech therapists and 40 parents of children receiving actual treatment, the most frequently asked questions were organized into seven parts.
“My child has trouble communicating with children his age.
The authors, with over 30 years of clinical experience, provide in-depth yet friendly answers to practical and pressing questions such as, “What should I do?”, “Is stuttering genetic?, and is it curable?”

A distinguishing strength of this book is that it is comprised of an introductory practical book that can be utilized by everyone, including parents who are new to speech therapy, novice speech therapists with little experience, early childhood teachers, special education teachers, and speech therapy specialists.
Rather than academic jargon or complex theories, it contains key information and practical strategies that parents need to know right now, and each question is infused with the author's empathy and expertise.

After briefly summarizing the definition, target, evaluation, and program of speech therapy in the introduction, it is divided into seven parts as follows.
Part 1 covers questions about language development in general, including Korean language education, vocabulary, sociality, and non-verbal communication. Part 2 focuses on articulation and pronunciation issues, Part 3 on stuttering, and Part 4 on autism spectrum disorder.
Parts 5 and 6 cover a variety of real-world questions, including school issues, media exposure, and differences from play therapy. The appendix provides additional practical assistance by providing recommended resources that will be helpful to both parents and therapists.
