By Caroline Bowen and Pamela Snow
Aimed and written for both parents and professionals, the authors discuss the non-evidence-based interventions that proliferate in the fields of children’s speech that include but are not limited to language, literacy, communication, and attention.
The authors explore the science - or lack thereof - behind the interventions and suggest evidence-based alternatives that enjoy stronger scientific support
The authors approach the topic using an understanding of and empathy for, the parents and professionals who are doubtful about conventional treatments, disappointed with practitioners associated with them, and attracted to controversial interventions.
