Book excerpt: Have you been frustrated with your speech therapy experience? Marci Melzer, M.Ed./SLP, is an intuitive speech-language pathologist with 30 years of experience helping people to develop the ability to use spoken language functionally. As a speech therapist, Marci found the health care system to be increasingly disempowering for both her and her clients. She finally left after being required by contract to go against her ethics for financial gains. Marci is now helping families by training the parents to facilitate language themselves faster, easier, and with a lot more fun than speech therapy. "My 8-year-old son has ASD. He still was not talking after 5 years of speech therapy and 2 years of ABA. Language facilitation helped us hear new words without prompting within 2 weeks. In one month, my son gave up his iPad communication system to talk. ~ Jennifer, Kentucky, USA Marci learned, after decades of speech therapy, that parents are the best language facilitators. Parents already know their children better than any therapist can. They know what their children are thinking and feeling due to the natural, intuitive connection between parents and their kids. Marci's language facilitation program equips and empowers parents to see the speech learning from the child's perspective. She teaches parents to self-analyze their own teaching methods as well as their child's school and therapies to discover the habits, patterns, and mindset issues that are keeping their children stuck in nonverbal communication and resistant to learning to talk. "The results of language facilitation are so much more than speech. They provide a world our kids begin to trust and as they gain confidence in themselves, their abilities, and in each relationship they open up to so much more. Speech has only been the tip of the iceberg for us. Watching our son (who will be 7 years old next week) engage with the world around him has been a gift beyond measure." ~ Janaiah, North Carolina USA Parents whose late-talking children have received diagnoses such as Autism, Apraxia, Global Developmental Delay, Genetic Disorders, Brain Malformation, and Auditory Processing Disorder are now conversing. Parents are seeing almost immediate results in children from 2-years-old to 13-years-old. Every child can benefit from parents using language facilitation. "It feels wonderful to connect with my 10-year-old son through play and hear new words, phrases, and sentences every day. He was so sad and anxious about all the prompting in speech therapy and it did not work anyway." ~ Mary Ann, Wisconsin, USA Hundreds of parents watch Marci's videos on Facebook and YouTube every day and comment on how the strategies are helping them overcome their child's resistance to speech faster than speech therapy. Now, parents can have a print-version of Marci's Language Facilitation program to use at their own pace. Every family who eliminates communication blockages and facilitates language naturally has heard their limited-verbal and nonverbal children use spontaneous spoken developmental language within weeks. Many children begin talking within days. These strategies are that good. "The concept of language facilitation gives the power back to the parents. Our children love and learn the most from us, not schools, hourly therapy sessions, etc. We naturally teach our children everything and Marci integrates this with her teaching. We need more Marci's in this world to keep up with this epidemic, our children deserve the best and Marci teaches parents how to not only reach their children but to teach their teams and supports how to do it as well. Once all are on board you will see results that will blow your mind!" ~ Tracy, Illinois USA
