Mary Lou Johnson has helped hundreds of parents help their
children learn to talk better in over 30 years of work as a
speech-language pathologist. Mary Lou is a respected
clinician who produces positive results with children who have
been diagnosed with speech and/or language problems – mild
to profound.
Mary Lou wants to share with you the techniques she has
developed and shaped over 30 years at The Children’s
Hospital, Denver, Colorado. She received a Masters Degree
from Washington University in St. Louis after studying at the
Central Institute for the Deaf (CID). At CID, hearing impaired
and profoundly deaf children were taught to speak. The
specialized skills used at CID to help hard of hearing and deaf
children work through their speech difficulties have been
invaluable to Mary Lou when working with hearing children.
Some therapists seem to dabble in articulation therapy and
have trouble moving children forward. For Mary Lou, speech
production therapy and children’s speech progress is her
passion.
Mary Lou also loves to help parents understand the
differences between speech and language, help them figure
out why their children aren’t speaking better, help children
say words their parents have never heard them say before,
and empower parents to help their children speak more in
everyday activities.
| You need an expert to give you information in straight language that you can understand and put to work. |
| You need specific ideas spelled out clearly …by a person who can teach you the ropes. |
If you want to learn how to understand your child’s challenges in
learning to talk, learn techniques to help your child talk more or
more clearly, and use everyday activities to work with your child

You will find Mary Lou’s writing style to be very clear and straight-
forward, practical, and easy to understand. And you will be pleased

Many child development experts believe that if your child is not speaking by the age of five, she may not achieve fully functional language skills. Our daughter would disagree and probably ask the question, “Did I talk when I was five?” Kalena began using single words shortly before her 6th birthday and was combining three to four words by age 6½. Today, at age 8, she amazes us with her continued development of spontaneous conversation skills. To learn to speak, Kalena needed skilled therapists to guide her step-by-step through communication development. As her parents, we needed these advanced teachers to show us how to support and encourage our daughter through her challenges. We explored a combination of therapeutic approaches from a variety of providers including: Floortime/Relationship Development Intervention, the Hanen Program, the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), augmentative speech devices, and PROMPT techniques. Mary Lou's combination of speech-language therapy techniques provided the tools for Kalena to finally overcome her apraxia and begin to speak. For Kalena, the disorganized world of Autism, with multiple sensory issues and severe anxiety, complicated her interactions with everyone around her. Imagine awakening without the ability to communicate your needs to others. Everything becomes overwhelming and confusing, causing you to have so much anxiety--all you can focus on is lining up toys against the wall. Skilled speech therapists provided Kalena with the help she needed to find her voice. She has progressed from the basics of learning to make eye contact and point to objects and picture symbols, to learning to read and type her language on a communication device, and finally developing functional verbal communication skills. We have been incredibly fortunate to have patient, knowledgeable teachers, including Mary Lou, work with our daughter, helping to ease her frustration and anxiety with being trapped in silence for several years.

| This information is priceless... |
...because communication is priceless. We humans are driven to communicate. When we
can’t communicate, we are frustrated. Have you ever had laryngitis and been unable to speak to
order in a restaurant, talk on the phone, or conduct business? How has that made you feel?
Now think about your child who day after day can’t tell you what she or he wants, needs, feels, or is
thinking about. It’s no wonder some children start to hit, pinch, kick, bite, or simply give up.
Even if your child might “outgrow” his or her current speech difficulties, how much better would it be
if she or he spoke better one day sooner—one month sooner—or one or more years sooner. I think
you know the answer to that.
And you are the answer to your child’s talking and communication needs—just as you are his or her
Most Important Person to meet all needs. Though you might lean on professionals to guide you,
you need to be equipped with the information you need to make informed decisions and to help
your child—every day.

Author: How to Help Your Child Learn to Talk Better in
Everyday Activities
Dear Parent (or other concerned caregiver),
If you want to stop worrying about your child’s lack of
speech or your child’s unclear speech or limited use of
language… then this might be the letter (and the book) you
have been searching for.
I’ll teach you how to help your child learn to talk better in
everyday activities starting right now!
You’re wondering why your child doesn’t talk better like
other children his or her age, you worry that there must be
something you did to cause your child to have difficulty --
or you wonder if there was something you didn’t do. You
keep getting advice that just doesn't seem right to you from
well-meaning relatives (like your mother maybe…).
Perhaps you don’t know where to turn, and you don’t know
what to do. Or, perhaps you have been working with
someone to try to help your child, and you still don’t really
understand what is happening or what more you can do to
help your child.
Maybe you are satisfied with the speech-language therapy
your child is receiving and you are just looking for some
additional information.
Take a look at my Table of Contents to see if I have
addressed the topics you are interested in.
It will be my pleasure to assist you as you help your child.

| Here are just some of the useful tips & techniques this book will teach you: |
| Why statements are better | |
| than questions to help you teach your child to speak better. |
| How to “filter” language so | |
| your child can break the language code more easily. |
| How to use an Upside-Down | |
| Pyramid™ speaking method to help your child be able to repeat after you and learn to speak. |
| How to handle “baby talk”. |
| How to “highlight” language | |
| to make it more obvious to your child. |
| Why parents tend to ask | |
| their children questions (up to 80% of what they say to them) even though their children don't say many (or any) words. |
| How to blend your language | |
| skill-building efforts into the usual activities you do every day like bathing, dressing, cooking, playing, going places and shopping. |
| More useful tips & techniques: |
| A clear explanation of the | |
| differences between language and speech. |
| Why you want to think | |
| about sounds and not letters. |
| Why your child’s birth | |
| order is not a factor in his/her speech difficulties. |
| Why you are part of the | |
| solution – and not part of the problem. |
| How to talk a book rather | |
| than read it to help your child learn to speak better. |

By the age of 2 ½ to 3 years a child typically understands approximately 500 words, expresses approximately 200 words, combines 3 to 4 words in simple sentences, and is about 70% intelligible (understandable). If your 2 ½ to 3 year old child isn’t using simple sentences, doesn’t have a reasonable vocabulary to talk about things in her daily life, and/or if she is hard to understand when she talks, this book is for you. |
| In summary, here's what you get when you order: You get immediate access to the informative and beneficial eBook, How to Help Your Child Learn to Talk Better in Everyday Activities, along with some very useful bonus articles for acting now. If you respond right away, you pay the introductory price of only $29.
