“I love the wealth of information in this book and wish it was around when I needed it. I think it’s important for parents to understand that getting help as early as possible is critical.”

“’Preschool Stuttering, What Parents Can Do’ in my opinion covers it all. This is not a book only to be recommended by Speech Language Pathologists. It’s extremely parent friendly and would provide an excellent starting point for parents who are concerned about their child’s disfluencies. Preschool teachers, pediatricians, nurse practitioners, psychologists and counsellors should all be familiar with this book. It is one of the best parent information guides I’ve seen in years.”
