He loves to count along and examine the illustrations as they relate to the story. Job well done!” -Ereyonna Williamson, mother of GLP 5-year-old “This book is such an amazing resource! It provides great examples of language to model across a variety of communicative functions. I love how inclusive and neurodivergent-affirming it is! I love reading it with the kids on my caseload.” -Tara Geller, MA/CCC-SLP Owner of Zenergetic Kids “I’m a Speech- Language Pathologist who works with many children who are Gestalt Language Processors. This is a fabulous resource! I love using it in sessions with my young clients”. -Shari Linde, M.Sc. RSLP Director of Advantage Speech-Language Pathology Ltd. “Playground Count Along is a beautiful resource for caregivers, therapists, educators and anyone who works with young children. Having fun and engaging scripts that clearly communicate a need or desire is empowering for all children, and especially important to model for neurodivergent little ones.” - Andrea Liacopoulos, OTD Founder of Rooted Connections Occupational Therapy “As an autistic parent of an autistic child who is a gestalt language processor, I learned early to look for books with prosody and repetition for him to foster his language style. Not only did we find that in Playground Count Along, but we also found appropriate scenarios and scripts to build in our everyday interactions using scenarios that are directly applicable to my child. We had a great time reading this!” -Serena Erenberg, autistic parent Read more
