A Parent's Guide to Speech Therapy for Your Child
 |
Description
Book Introduction
The globally recognized Hanen's speech therapy program (Hanen's More Than Words) is now available in Korean!
The first must-read recommended by doctors to parents of children with autism spectrum disorder!
A parent's guide to helping children with autism spectrum disorder or language delays develop communication and social skills.
The Korean version of “More Than Words,” a representative parent education program of the Hanen Centre in Canada, which was founded in 1977 and has been dedicated to researching children’s early language development for over 40 years, has been published.
This book, which compiles decades of accumulated research on early language development in children and extensive clinical experience with families of children with autism spectrum disorder, is used as a textbook by professionals and parents in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Singapore, and other countries, and is known as the first must-read recommended by doctors to parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
This book emphasizes that the optimal environment for developing children's language skills and sociality is the daily life in which they feel most comfortable, and that the best language facilitators are their mothers and fathers, to whom they feel the most attached.
Thus, we guide parents through very simple yet effective ways to maximize their children's communication and social skills through ordinary conversations and activities in everyday life.
We also provide customized guidance tailored to each child, taking into account the different levels of communication development, such as children who have not yet begun to speak, children who can say a few words, and children who can form sentences.
It is considered to be very effective not only for children with autism spectrum disorders and language delays, but also for adults with communication difficulties.

Into the book
Our child may not be saying a word right now.
But remember, communication is more than just exchanging words.
When a child drags his mother to the refrigerator, he is telling his mother that he wants to drink juice.
When a child cries or stomps his feet, he is telling his mother that he is angry and upset.
When our child looks at us and smiles brightly, he or she is letting us know that we are special to him or her.
Even when a child is waving his or her hands, he or she is telling you something he or she is feeling.
--- p.19
If your child doesn't seem interested in interacting with you and doesn't seem to need much attention, you might be tempted to believe that it's because your child is independent.
Of course, children also need time for themselves.
But it's crucial that our children learn to interact, and this is something they can't do alone.
Continue to try to involve your child in what he or she is doing.
For example, if your child is watching television alone, try sitting right next to them.
Or, if your child is playing with a string, try pulling on it to get their attention.
The child may get angry and push the mother away, but that is better than no interaction at all.
As you begin to interact more with your child, he or she will eventually realize that play can be more enjoyable when Mom or Dad is involved.
--- p.42
Most children with ASD are visual learners, meaning they understand things best when they can see them.
Most visual learners love puzzles and shape matching toys because, after all, they can see them.
I also like watching videos and TV, especially cartoons.
Some children are so fascinated by letters and numbers that they surprise those around them by reading them even though they have never been taught how to do so.
Why do some children learn better visually than others? For children who struggle to process information heard verbally, words may be fleeting information, lost in the blink of an eye.
That's why we tend to focus on things we can understand, things we can see with our eyes.
Unlike words that disappear in an instant, things that can be seen—objects, photographs, paintings, line drawings, and letters—last a long time.
--- p.214
Toy play is an important part of a child's life.
Play not only increases motor skills and develops problem-solving skills, but also expands imagination and practices communication.
(...syncopation...)
Although play should initially be structured and repetitive, it is also important to add something new and unexpected to keep things fresh.
This way, our children will have more flexibility and opportunities to try new things.
Finally, mom and dad step in to add energy and liveliness to the child's play, and teach the child the most important lesson.
That is, “Play is fun!”
--- p.406
There are many things parents can do to help their children learn to play well with other children.
You can start by taking your child out to a comfortable environment, such as a park or playground, where they are with other children.
Your child may find a playmate who likes him or her and who loves him or her.
Once your child has had plenty of practice playing with mom and dad, using the same games, songs, books, and toys, it will be a huge help in playing with other children.
It's important for parents to be there for their children during this early stage, demonstrating and coaching them through play as they begin to develop social skills.
Later, once your child knows how to interact with other children, you can just disappear and watch them have fun!

Publisher's Review
The globally recognized Hanen's speech therapy program (Hanen's More Than Words) is now available in Korean!
The first must-read recommended by doctors to parents of children with autism spectrum disorder!
《Parents' Guide to Speech Therapy for Our Children》 is the Korean version of “More Than Words,” a representative parent education program of the Hanen Centre, which is world-renowned for its early language development programs for children.
The Hanen Centre is a Canadian non-profit charitable organization founded in 1977 that provides proven treatments and training to children with language and social development needs and their caregivers, educators, and therapists.
This book, which compiles the results of Hanen's research over the past 40 years, is widely used as a textbook by professionals and parents in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Singapore, and other countries, and is known as the first must-read recommended by doctors to parents of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
Children who can benefit from this book
Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), including pervasive developmental disorder, autism, Asperger's syndrome, hyperlexia, and semantic-pragmatic disorder.
Children who have difficulty concentrating or making eye contact with others, or who have difficulty communicating with others, such as being significantly delayed in speaking or not understanding what is being said.
Designed for children under six years of age, but also applicable to adult patients with communication difficulties.
The best speech therapists for our children are mom and dad!
A child's language develops most amazingly when he or she is in a comfortable home with loving parents.
The Hanen Center has long emphasized that parents are the most effective facilitators in promoting children's language development, and has created a parent education program, "Parent Guide to Speech Therapy for Our Children," to help parents develop their children's language.
Until a few decades ago, speech-language pathologists kept parental involvement in children's speech therapy to a minimum.
Parents could only watch the therapist and their child being treated from the treatment room beyond the glass window.
However, in the 1970s, parents began to participate in their children's speech therapy, and when parents took the lead in the treatment, good treatment results were achieved.
Especially for children with autism spectrum disorder, motivation is of utmost importance because they do not feel the need for communication.
Therefore, communication with the most important people for a child, namely parents, becomes the most active motivation.
In fact, the University of Washington's Autism Center in the United States had 62 children under the age of two with autism symptoms receive either Hanen's "More Than Words" program, in which parents actively treat their children's language, or standard treatment.
A comparison and study of these two treatments showed that Hanen's treatment program, in which parents learn and participate in the treatment, improved the child's language and behavior.
This book empowers parents who have been helpless and passive in their child's treatment to become their own professional speech therapists.
There are no expensive treatment costs or limited treatment times.
《Parents' Guide to Speech Therapy for Our Children》 provides detailed and friendly explanations of various methods that can be implemented anytime and anywhere during everyday life, such as mealtimes, snack times, bathtime, and walk times.
Additionally, illustrations were actively used to aid understanding.
A child's language development is most remarkable when he or she is at home, where he or she feels most comfortable, with loving parents instead of unfamiliar and difficult treatments, rather than in a well-equipped therapy room.
Child-centered language therapy begins with understanding the child's world!
Providing customized guidance tailored to your child's communication stage.
《Parents' Guide to Speech Therapy for Your Child》 is designed with each child in mind.
Children with autism spectrum disorder understand and learn about the world around them in their own unique ways.
Some senses are particularly favored or others are extremely avoided, and each child acquires information differently.
That's why the author says that the most effective way to promote language development is to first understand your child's preferred senses and learning styles.
Thus, the treatment is structured to be centered on the child's tendencies, tastes, and interests by thoroughly understanding the child's sensory preferences and learning style from the beginning of the book.
Also, when you know exactly what stage your child's communication is at, you can set appropriate goals and provide the help he or she needs.
This book divides a child's communication into four stages: 'My Way,' 'Expressing Intent,' 'Early Communication,' and 'Clumsy Friend,' based on the child's interaction skills, communication methods, reasons for communication, and level of language comprehension.
All the treatment methods provided in 12 chapters are introduced according to the stage of communication development, so that you can see at a glance what goals can be expected at your child's current stage, how mom and dad can guide them, and what the next stage for your child is.
Additionally, this book structures songs, picture books, toys, games, and cooking to help children learn and practice the basic principles of communication and interaction in a fun way.
The book explains how to play various physical games such as peek-a-boo, tag, and hide-and-seek according to the child's communication stage, and includes 37 familiar nursery rhymes that can be sung with children, selected to suit the Korean context.
The treatment methods in this "Parents' Guide to Speech Therapy for Our Children" make speech therapy a fun and enjoyable "play" time with parents, rather than a painful "treatment" time.
By following this book's step-by-step guide, your child, who initially struggled to even make eye contact and played alone, will gradually learn to express what he or she wants, discover the joy of interacting and playing with you, and eventually enjoy communicating thoughts and feelings with others in a variety of ways, including through words.

“The most important thing is to create results!”_'Xtianne' (Netizen reader comment)
“My son hasn’t been diagnosed with autism, but he fits the description in this book perfectly.
Before reading this book, I didn't know exactly what type of language delay my child had, and I had no idea what the future held for us.
This book clearly explains the typical types of language delay and how to take them to the next level.
With the help and suggestions in this book, my son has already begun to speak new expressions.
