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.

Praise for Late-Talking Children, revised and expanded edition

"In Late-Talking Children, the world's expert on the syndrome offers good sense, humane advice, and the latest science to such parents—while reminding his fellow scientists that it raises fascinating questions for our understanding of language, genetics, development, and the organization of the human brain." -- Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of The Language Instinct and How the Mind Works

"Professor Stephen Camarata's new book will be a revelation and a treasure to anxious and puzzled parents of late-talking children. It should also be read by professionals who treat—and sometimes mistreat—late-talking children, as well as by those who set educational and medical policies." -- Thomas Sowell, Hoover Institution, Stanford University

"For parents who have a small child who is still not talking, at an age when other children have long since begun to speak, there is no better gift than the new book Late-Talking Children." -- The American Spectator
