![]() Framework… The book, Preschool Stuttering: What Parents Can Do is well-written, provides a framework that makes this guide an easy read. There are a lot of great charts, strategies and tips within this book for the reader to utilize. The tone in which this book is written makes it feel more personal and allows the reader to connect with the author and the information that she provides. Ease of information… At the beginning of each chapter there are “Starting Points” that serve as a guide to assist the reader when reviewing information within each chapter. There are different charts and checklists throughout the book that breakdown information further. At the end of each chapter there is a recap which highlights the main points of the chapter. Thankfully, you should not have to pull out your dictionary too much, because the information is presented without a lot of technical terms. This is always nice for readers, because a lot of times the audience is not always a speech language pathologist. All of the Answers to your Burning Questions… As I read through the book, a lot of my questions were answered regarding stuttering. I felt the book provided concrete examples and real life experiences which provided me with a different perspective of stuttering. There are a lot of frequently asked questions at the end of the book with answers. Resources, Checklists and More… One of my favorite charts within the book is the “Dos and Don’ts” it not only states what to avoid saying and the reasoning that aligns with each statement, but it provides suggestions of what to say instead. There are a lot of practical strategies, charts, checklists, and more resources to use within this book.This book is a great addition to a parent’s resource library or any individual interested in stuttering. Some of the areas that Mirla addresses within her book include, but are not limited to: Understanding Stuttering, Viewpoints and Reactions, Stuttering and Emotions, Different Environments, Events, and People, Professional Help and Questions and Answers. How I am Using the Book… As a speech language pathologist, I have my bookshelf of reference guides and books that I enjoy referencing back to for further information. After reviewing this book, I was excited to add it to my bookshelf. This book is easy to reference back to quickly because of the awesome layout and how all of the information is presented. The field of Speech Language Pathology is so broad and it is nice to be able to have a book like Preschool Stuttering:What Parents Can Do. It is nice to have the technical books to reference back to, but it is also convenient to have the less technical books as a quick reference point. Special Thanks to Mirla G.

Keep up the good work and wishing you all an awesome school year! "Celebrate what you’ve accomplished, but raise the bar a little higher each time you succeed."-Mia Hamm- ![]() A lot of times people see the end result of other individual’s lives and do not see the obstacles and/or the hard work that goes into how they made it to where they are today. Below are the 4 Vital Lessons I Learned from Taking the Praxis Test. 1. Vulnerability: I was in a position where I felt like I was the only person going through this, so much of my career relied on this test in order to move forward… I shared with others “my reality” (I did not pass the Praxis test on the first time) and the steps that I experienced to get to the point where I am today. I was able to admit my weakness (not passing the Praxis) and seek help from others who did pass. I embraced the feeling of not knowing the specific outcome and enjoying the journey and the ability to gain further knowledge while studying. I learned how to be vulnerable. 2. Resilience: I took the Praxis test more than one time and experienced disappointment. I would open up the test scores and not want to look for fear that I would see the words “NOT PASSED.” …From each set back I developed the ability to bounce back even quicker than I did before in my life. Life is not fair and different experiences in our life teach us exactly how to develop resilience to keep going even when we may fear the worst. I learned resilience. 3. Underlying Lessons: It is hard to see underlying lessons when you are in various situations in life, but sometimes when we step back and look at the big picture we understand the lesson that was there all along. I am thankful for my underlying lesson that I learned the value of hanging in there, because life does not always give you the necessary tools that you need in the beginning, sometimes you have to develop those skills in order to get to the next chapter of your life. I wanted to look at other careers many times, but I did not let the test define my future career that I absolutely loved. I learned to find the underlying lessons in every experience. 4. Rejection: Last but not least the most important lesson that often times can be looked at as something negative. I felt rejected each time I got back results saying that I did not pass the test. I knew all throughout my life that standardized tests were not my strong point, but now I really felt like this was going to determine where my career would go next. I realized that I just had to find various strategies and ways of studying for the test that worked best for me. Rejection is a good thing because it makes you work harder and appreciate the end result even more. I learned rejection only pushes you to the next level and you appreciate the end result. So how many times did I have to take the Praxis test before I passed…Well let’s just say the third time was a charm :) |
