They're in the same order as in the book.
What happens in the brain when a child tries to speak.
1The evidence behind the method
The three findings in the chapter's box, with their source and exactly what they say. And at the end, what's still being researched.
2The sources, one by one
Every reference in the book with its summary and the claim it supports.
3The speaking brain
Ten areas that work every time a word is spoken. Tap any of them to see what it does and what you can do at home.
Posture, air and primitive reflexes.
4Who's in charge of your child's body?
A short questionnaire about things you already see at home. It gives you a map of where to start. It isn't a diagnosis.
At the end of the book. To take to appointments and to see how things change.
5The six-month sheet
The same sheet as at the end of the book, to print as many times as you need.
6The report for the therapist
A one-page summary of what you see at home, ready to save as a PDF.
One code for all of them. Inside each: the inside of the mouth, a mouth up close with the counter, the beat, the reading and the sheet to print.
7The twenty-two consonants
Grouped by where they're made: first the lips, which you can see, and last the back of the tongue, where there's nothing to watch.
8The vowels
Where everything starts: five mouth shapes and the short vowels for reading.
Digital resources may change address or format over time. The book is complete on its own: this complements it and isn't needed to apply the method.
None of these tools is a diagnosis or replaces an assessment by a speech-language professional.
