A guide to understanding speech delays without rushing to conclusions

Focused on children who have not begun speaking by age two or three, this revised and expanded guide addresses the uncertainty surrounding delayed speech. Stephen Camarata presents late talking as a subject requiring careful distinction from autism and intellectual disability, while examining questions about evaluation, therapies, medication, and a child’s future language development. Written for use across home, clinical, and educational contexts, the book frames its guidance around developmental expertise and contemporary scientific research. Its emphasis is on helping adults navigate concerns about speech delay with clearer information and attention to the risk of misdiagnosis.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Parents and caregivers concerned about a toddler’s delayed speech
  • Clinicians working with late-talking children
  • Educators seeking context for supporting children with speech delays

Book overview

A revised and expanded edition of the bestselling guide to late-talking children for parents, clinicians, and educators, from a leading authority on development and disabilities.

Every year in America, more than half a million parents of late-talking children face agonizing questions: What should I do if my two- or even three-year-old has not yet begun to talk? Should I worry that my child is autistic or intellectually disabled? Are expensive therapies or medications needed? Will my child ever speak normally? In this revised and expanded edition of the essential resource on the subject, Late-Talking Children, Stephen Camarata--the parent of a late-talking child and a late talker himself--provides clear, sensible, and compassionate answers for parents, clinicians, and educators, drawing on his more than three decades of experience diagnosing and treating the "late-talking syndrome" as well as the best science available today.
