Billy Gets Talking: Book Review and Giveaway!
Mehreen Kakwan first emailed me a couple of months ago to simply ask if I could be listed as a resource for her new book on apraxia, “Billy Gets Talking.” I asked to read the book and she sent me a PDF version, in which I was instantly hooked.
I don’t just say that lightly either….
I get a lot of pitches in my email to review or promote a product, but honestly I have to feel it in my soul to promote it because I know what it is like to be a parent and to grasp or buy anything you think will help.
Last apraxia awareness day, I was searching for a book I could read Ashlynn’s classmates that was simple, yet accurate enough to understand her life as a kid going through speech therapy. This book would have been perfect.
However, I knew this book was gold when I trialed it on a client of mine. She has and continues to endure a lengthy battle with her ability to speak. I read her this book and she was enthralled. She hung on every word. When I was done, I asked her if she could relate and she enthusiastically nodded her head in agreement.
As a mom to a child with resolving apraxia, and as a speech/language pathologist specializing in apraxia, I highly recommend this book! You can enter to win a free giveaway below!
