Speech-Language Pathologist writes Children’s book to educate Parents, Teachers, and Children about Speech and Language Disorders
Mercer County, New Jersey, USA. (SANEPR.com) September 12, 2007 -- Official Publication and Release date....
Did you know that the most recent U.S. Department of Education statistics report that more than 4.5 million children between the ages of 3-21 receive special education services for speech and language disorders in the public schools? You would think that with those numbers, the general population would be quite familiar with speech therapy! However, this is not the case.
ASHA (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association) Certified Speech-Language Pathologist Ronda M. Wojcicki has recognized the current lack of understanding and information regarding speech therapy and has created a children’s book to address the problem head on – Speech Class Rules….An Introduction to Speech Therapy for Children. This fully illustrated children’s book serves as a tool for parents, educators, and Speech-Language Pathologists to introduce and explain the concept of speech therapy. The book introduces the concept to children who are unfamiliar with speech therapy, provides characters that those in speech can relate to, and helps children recently diagnosed with speech-language impairments to feel more comfortable about beginning therapy.
Wojcicki is a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist who has practiced in both the public school and outpatient pediatric rehabilitation settings. In the book, she provides an entertaining and informative story in addition to a set of questions for home and school that provoke further discussion.
The book is being featured on the American Speech Language Hearing Association’s website link for “Books About Communication”. It has been endorsed by the Schreiber Pediatric Rehabilitation Center of PA who service over 4000 children with special needs. It has been featured on Lancaster County, PA’s channel 11 news as well as the Lancaster New Era newspaper and the Hunterdon County Democrat in NJ. It will be available at the American Speech Language Hearing Association’s National Convention in Boston in November 2007.
The book can be purchased directly through the Speech Place Publishing’s website at www.TheSpeechPlace.com for $19.95. Volume discounts are available for orders of 3 or more. Mrs. Wojcicki is available for readings to schools in New Jersey and surrounding areas.
