Great Resource for Parents!
Our family has benefited from this book, and I do recommend it to other parents. I appreciate the author's thoroughness in her introduction of her books. She makes it clear that her books are not meant to replace speech therapy, but if your child has only a few articulation issues, this book may help you (the parent) help your child correct the errors. I also believe this book would be an awesome tool to use at home as a supplement to a child's speech therapy program.

Reaching for the Stars with Super Star Speech!
This manual is designed to help those children with mild articulation errors in their speech. It is not designed to correct physical problems that may cause speech issues.

As a mom with children who have had professional speech therapy, I can tell you that they would always show the most improvement when we the family, would work with them everyday, in between their speech therapy sessions.
This program builds on that principle. Deborah Lott saw the same results in her practice.

What I really liked is that they had an articulation test within the manual, as well as, the instructions on how to administer the test. And how to score the test.

The manual also includes blank lesson plan forms, blank games and flash cards. They do not have pre-made lesson plans, as each child will need a tailored plan to meet their specific needs. However, you will have at your fingertips, words lists and instructions on how to teach each sound.This is invaluable. Often times, parents will know where their child needs help, but does not know how to help them. This manual will help them do that.

What is great about this program, is that Deborah Lott, is a homeschooling mother, and Speech and Language pathologist. She understands what homeschoolers need.

If you have a child who is struggling with articulation errors, or other speech issues, please visit Super Star Speech and see what they have to offer.

Wonderful Speech Therapy Curriculum!
The Super Star Speech books are very user friendly.They are well-organized, easily understood, and easy to apply in the home.They provide more activity ideas and suggestions (especially those focused on specific sounds) than another at-home speech therapy book I've used, and they are affordable!

Permission is granted for the buyer to photocopy (for personal use) the reproducible forms, lesson plans, test response sheets, and the games and photo cards in the appendix.This makes it a fully reusable curriculum, which is helpful for families like ours with multiple children with speech issues.
The printed books can be sold or given to others when you are done with them, but the e-books can not.

Because you are making your own lesson plans for your child, it is very versatile.You can take a relaxed approach or a very structured approach to your child's therapy.The fun games help to keep it enjoyable and the number available to choose from keeps it fresh for the child even if it's done daily (which it isn't in our home).

I definitely recommend Deborah Lott's Super Star Speech program.

Great Resource
I reviewed this for the publisher and was just delighted with this book. Here are some of my observations:

There are some fun games in here. I loved playing "Train Tracks" with my daughter. (She is always up for something new and exciting!) I love the ideas in this game. An example is: "Pick a word to say 5 times," or "Think of 2 sentences with your sound." Each space on this game has a task for the players to do. Even if I didn't have time to play the entire game, I could always pick a couple of tasks and have a student do them on the spur of the moment, anytime during the day.

I also love the sentence practice pages in here. The student must fill in the blanks with the words they are working on. Then they must say the new sentences 3 times. I can see how-speaking-works together with an entire language arts education. If you can enunciate words properly, your reading, comprehension, spelling, and writing will improve. This is what helps us to communicate clearly in life and is so important!

There are pages of worksheets that look like coloring pages. They are really fun and educational.*We are allowed to photocopy these, as many times as we want, for personal use.* Since this is a spiral bound book, it is very easy to photocopy multiple pages to use again and again. This is a great feature! You can use this for all your children for many years to come. The activities in these pages are wonderful and will help a child remember words, and also get some fun practice in speaking clearly.

Overall, this is an excellent resource, whether your child has a minor speech problem or you are looking for reassurance that your child is working at their own developmental level. It is designed for parents to work with their children, at home, doing speech therapy.

Speech Therapy Activities for Home Use
My older children had MAJOR speech issues.I understood them perfectly well, however most other people had difficulty.A speech pathologist tested them and informed me that one $100 session a week would be helpful. Insurance would not pay for it.A friend suggested taking them to the local public school.After more testing, the school speech therapist informed me that in all her years of teaching, no two children ever spoke like mine or made the errors they did.She said it was as if they spoke a foreign language.And so the weekly visits began.
All went well at first as their speech became clearer.My daughter began to complain about going.We kept taking them because they were making improvement.Unbeknownst to me, because I had to wait outside the room, she was telling them they should have learned this by now and why couldn't they get it.She would take phone calls during their time and sighed often.She informed me that Violet needed counseling for her defiance which we did, but the counselor said she was an extremely intelligent perfectionist, and absolutely did NOT need to come back again.Though they had made huge strides in their speech, I pulled them out of therapy because of the attitude of the therapist.She was obviously anti-homeschool in her comments to me and was belitting to the children.Since the therapist informed me Violet would not speak correctly if I pulled her out, how sweet it would be to send her the cd of Violet preaching a sermon at our church.

If only I would have had Super Star Speech then.These are the exact types of games and activities that were done which helped my children.Then, they would not have had to be subjected to the ridicule.Super Star Speech was written by Deborah Lott who holds her M.Ed. in Speech Language Pathology.She did not write this to take the place of speech pathology professionals when their services are necessary.Often children have just a few errors which can be solved with home intervention.And that is the beauty of this book-simple enough for the parent to help their child at home.

The user-friendly book begins with articulation test, directions, and scoring information.Hints on teaching as well as copyable lesson plan sheets to fill in are available.Deborah then gives specific instructions to help guide the parent in teaching their child each problem sound. A listing of 15 speech therapy games and activities help to make the learning concrete.

Dash and Violet's teacher gave them flashcards and had little games for them to play-just like Super Star Speech.One of Deborah's daughters did the artwork for the 240 picture cards which may be copied for use within the home.Other gameboards and worksheets help to make the learning fun, which Deborah emphasizes.

This would have been used extensively in my home and will still be used as a reference for others.I recommend this product, if a parent feels their child may have articulation errors.I was given this product by Super Star Speech as a member of the TOS Crew.I give my honest opinion of the product

The Parents Guide to Speech and Language Problems
It's an excelente resource for parents that what to learn about speech delays of their children.

Get this book
My copy of this book is highlighted, dog eared, and frequently referenced. This book was the first helpful thing I read on APRAXIA outside of medical journals. It's an easy read with a clear set up and is helpful to any parent of a child with speech or language problems. It also presents many useful ideas and information that I have never seen put all in one place (for instance, ALL the positive treatment methods out there).

Very Helpful
We have a son with severe expressive language disorder (apraxia) and this book combines humor and honesty about speech and language disorders.It felt like the author was sitting at my kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee with me and explaining all about my son's condition.A lot of information about how aggressive you need to get with therapy and what kind of therapy will work best for you and your family.

A wonderful book for confused parents
This book is an excellent resource for anyone who has a child with speech and language difficulties. There is an enormous amount of information but it is very well organized, and easy to reference in a hurry. The quotes throughout from parents who have "been there" make you feel like you aren't alone. It's very easy to feel overwhelmed when you first get a diagnosis, but this book helps the process of really understanding what you can do to help your child, and the support that is available.

This book is very well written.It gives tons of information about the process of being evaluated to different types of therapy to web sites with more information...The list goes on and on.It is written in a way that is easy to understand and not full of technical terms that make you fall asleep.I highly recommend this book to anyone whose child is about to enter the speech delayed evaluation process. ...

A must-have book for students in the field of communication disorders.
I have just completed my undergraduate degree in communication disorders and will soon begin graduate school for speech language pathology. This is the best book I have found for students in a speech language pathology program who will soon be working with clients. It is the only book I have found that takes theoretical knowledge and transforms it into a step-by-step instructional program for working with people with communication disorders. I believe this book should be a part of every college curriculum. Thanks for a practical, easy-to-read book that is full of strategies! I will now feel much more prepared when I begin to work with clients. This book would also be helpful for practicing SLP's.

didn't like this book
I am finishing up my CFY in Speech Pathology. This is one of several post-grad school books that I bought in preparation for my job. I haven't found it useful at all. I use the Hedge's Guides (Treatment and Diagnosis) and several of my grad school textbooks. I also like the "Source" (Source for Aphasia, etc.) books.

OK but NOT worth full price
This book will be most helpful for graduate students who are looking for visual examples of the therapy process.Practicing professionals will find this extremely basic.I truly feel that the publisher is charging too much for this book - $40 is more appropriate in my opinion.I sold mine as a used copy after owning it for a year and only reading it once during my CFY.

Worth it!
I would like to recommend this book to any beginning clinician.While obtaining my graduate degree I've been a little aprehensive towards my success in teaching and helping those who need speech and language services.This book gives gives examples of how normal therapy sessions can be executed and there's a wealth of information on the fundamentals of early intervention.A very good investment... ...

Excellent Collection of Materials & Exercises!
As a family member of a stroke survivor who is dealing with expressive Aphasia, I found this book to be extremely helpful.It is written in easily understandable language, and organized in an order that is simple to follow.Yet there is nothing lacking in terms of practical and useful materials and exercises that will aid in the recovery process.

Not only are oral speech and language abilities addressed, but also writing ability and reading comprehension.This text also includes materials that will aid in rebuilding skills related to money, math and telling time.Exercises are all provided in bold, large print... making them very easy for family members and patients to read and use.

It is an unfortunate fact that many insurance companies refuse to pay for ongoing, intensive speech and language therapy for stroke survivors (beyond the first few weeks).After that time, many survivors receive only a minimal amount of S&L therapy, unless their family members willingly step in to assist.While it is definitely preferable to have post-stroke aphasia therapy outlined and over-seen by an actual SLP... this book provides the necessary guidance and materials that will allow families to supplement and continue forward with their loved one's therapy and recovery. ...

Product Description
Speech and language pathologists, like all professionals who claim to be scientific in their practice, make a public commitment to operate on the basis of knowledge derived in accordance with sound scientific standards. Yet students in communication disorders are given relatively little grounding in the fundamentals of science; indeed, they often receive implicit encouragement to rely on clinical wisdom. This pathbreaking text introduces the principles of critical scientific thinking as they relate to assessing communication problems, deciding about alternative approaches to intervention, and evaluating outcomes. The author provides many illustrative examples to help readers contextualize the ideas.

Her clear presentation will help not only undergraduate and graduate students but also established professionals reason more effectively about what they are doing and why. Though the examples come from speech and language pathology, this illuminating and readable book constitutes a valuable resource for all clinical practitioners.

Great Reference
This book was a suggested to me from a expert Speech Path. She had the 2nd edition version and found it to be a great resource that she used almost daily in her practice. I purchased this edition and I LOVE it!! I have used it quite a few times as a reference for my neurology class and as a source in papers. This book is very easy to understand and use for students. I wouldn't recommend this book to be used a "main" textbook in class - there it isn't quite as in depth but it does help to explain things in an easier way.

  Great book!
  This is exactly the type of book that every grad student in SLP needs.It has pre-written goals for 22 disorders, from TBI to autism to tracheostomy/ventilator patients.This book is great for students working towards practice in the education or medical settings.And the treatment ideas are handy too!It's definitely a MUST HAVE for students at their first clinical practicum sites.I know that I'll have this book for many years to come.Get it!

  Useful, but only as a starting point
  This book is useful for the beginning speech-language clinician, giving examples of long-term and short-term goals for a variety of disorders. However, many of the goals are not objectively measurable, and so, are of little use if taken directly from the book. That being said, the goals presented in the Treatment Planner are definitely a good starting point for the planning and implementation of treatment sessions.

  Okay for a student
  I found this book helpful when I did my first clinic in speech pathology in grad school.It showed me how to set up a treatment hierarchy (but I couldn't use the goals as they were because they didn't meet my supervisor'srequirements), and some general things to do with clients.You won't use it as often as you use Hedge's resources.
  
  If you are a practicing SLP, don't get this book.If you are stocking a clinic library for students in an SLP program, consider it.

  Caveat Emptor
  This book really has a way of being VAGUE.I only gave it one star because there is no zero star rating available.Please be advised that the goals are not written in proper format.The goals do not correctly have normally expressed criterion, reference, the goals are almost always NOT MEASURABLE, the lingo used is not at all the way a goal would be written on even the most basic treatment plan.I was honestly very concerned when I read it and feel very comfortable challenging the authors to revisit it, if they seriously expect it to be taken seriously.This book is a trouble at the very least.

  Speech-Language Pathology Treatment Planner
  This book is very helpful for planning goals for clients.It breaks client disorders down into groups and provides many types of goals that would be appropriate for that client.The only downfall is that there are some unnecessary goals listed in the beginning, dealing with parents and teachers, which any SLP should already be aware of.Otherwise, its great book for any SLP needing a little more guidance in planning goals. ...

Great Resource
I had to get the book for a class in grad school and I think this is one of the easiest book to read with great forms you can copy and use while providing therapy.

Nice Resource
Should have on your SLP shelf. Yes, the cover is thin; not the greatest. I store it in a small case. A keeper that you will use. Therapy ideas, stimulus materials, sample reports and letters, some anatomy diagrams (good), and much more - most of which is also on a CD for usage. I felt it was worth the cost. Thanks

Great assessment tool!
This book provides great direction for beginning, intermediate and semi-advanced speech-language clinicians. In addition, the accompanying CD with clinic forms is excellent. I highly recommend this book. It's well worth the cost.

An excellent resource for all clinicians working with adults and children.
A very helpful resource for assessment (language, articulation, voice, stuttering, neurogenic etc.) It has various lists of norms and sample reports. I found the additions to this version very useful. The CD ROM for printable forms (and some are also editable) makes my life so much easier. The pictures and diagrams for testing and training are colorful.I would recommend this product to any clinician - new or experienced.

A brilliant approach
Goldberg has a brilliant approach to speech-language pathology: since there is so little (and I mean very little) clinical research to support what we speech therapists do, why not utilize research from other fieldsthat is very closely related to the clinical skills performed in speechtherapy? This will reveal to us what works and what does not. This book isone of the most important which I have purchased. Goldberg's approach is soobvious once you read it-so why hasn't anyone else thought of this before?It helps if you also have degrees in other fields as Goldberg has(philosophy, political theory)-you are more likely to be able to think innovel ways than if you have confined yourself to the literature of only onefield. Bravo to the author!If you want to improve your clinical skills,learn new ones, etc., get this book. It is well worth the purchase price.This is a book not just to read but to study in depth. One of the ten mostimportant books on speech therapy which I have bought-and I have boughthundreds!

The most useful speech pathology book I've purchased
Clinical methods has been a "gray" area for most graduating master's students in speech-language pathology.It is often taught via the "memorize and regurgitate" method.Dr. Goldberg, however, givesa readable, practical guideline that is useful for training new clinicians,as well as for helping practicing clinician's answer the "why's"of what they are doing, an area that has desperately needed to be addressedin our profession.The content is applicable to all clinical settings, anddraws heavily on related discipline's research to augment our practicepatterns.Also helpful is a bibliography to guide those wishing to pursueresearch in the area of clinical methods.This book is truly a godsend tospeech pathology!! ...
