Combining years of experience as certified speech-language pathologists and as qualified yoga teachers, the authors of this pioneering book explain how yoga can be used to aid speech-language development in children up to age 12.

The book includes a range of yoga-based exercises for improving pre-linguistic communication, vocabulary development and motor planning for speech. The text is enriched by illustrations of children in each yoga pose, so no prior experience of yoga is necessary to help children carry out each activity. The book also provides information on using this approach with children with neurodevelopmental and intellectual disabilities, including ADHD and autism.

  • I have been thoroughly enjoying reading Yoga for Speech-Language Development. I am not a pro at yoga, but do enjoy practicing when I can and would love to use this in my future practice as an SLP and as a Mom. This book is super easy and enjoyable to read; it makes all of the yoga, and speech and language concepts and their application easy to understand and use. I have already tried some strategies with my son. Overall, amazing and IMPORTANT book, well thought out, I love the disclaimer and all of the research they cite, as well as the fact that this book can be an impetus for researchers to study this topic- so important! The authors' passion for the subject is clearly poured into every word, and that makes reading it so much more enjoyable. Thank you for this treasure!!
  • As a retired dual language educator, I have thoroughly enjoyed reading "Yoga for Speech and Language Develipment". It is unique, interesting and thoroughly engaging...a book for parents, educators, and anyone interested in language development...opening a new pathway of interest in the topic through yoga!
  • This book is great for the beginning clinician like myself! It includes developmental milestones (in easy to read charts) in terms of speech and language, which can be used as a guide for beginning clinicians. The yoga techniques (including visuals) are easy to follow and explain to both parents and children. In addition, this book offers gives concrete examples of ways to incorporate yoga into speech-language therapy (even listing different children's books that could incorporate yoga when used during a session). This book is beneficial for speech-language pathologists working with children!
  • As a new yoga teacher, I needed guidance in developing classes for preschoolers. This book served as an invaluable resource in helping me to design and utilize age appropriate breath work, poses and props. My classes turned out great and I am extremely grateful for the abundance of information provided in this book.
  • I very much enjoyed reading this book! It is very "reader friendly" and yet informative. It is interesting to learn how to interact with a pre-linguistic infant that come fairly intuitively (like massaging and naming body parts), as well as other ways (such as the "Heart-Warm-Touch" exercise) that I had not heard of before. As a new mom, I have already found this book to be a resource full of helpful hints and gentle words of encouragement to have fun and explore with my baby.
  • This book is an easy comprehensible read with great suggestions for working with children with communication disorders due to a variety of diagnoses including ASD, ADHD, and intellectual disorders, and language disorders. The combination of yoga and speech-language therapy is a great way to create more physical engagement and interaction in therapy sessions.
  • An informative, well written resource for SLP's who would like to include yoga techniques to support language learning and literacy in typically developing children and in those facing neurodevelopmental challenges.
  • This book has given me a whole new appreciation for the speech-language pathology field. Being an SLP myself, I am always looking for ways to rejuvenate or kick-start therapy in a new way! Working for the school system, students are always looking to get up and move around- so I will definitely be incorporating yoga into our sessions with my students on my caseload! I will be sharing this book with my support staff! This book has also aided in facilitating my 2 year old's speech/language development as well. He is having fun and I am getting in some speech therapy! Research has always pointed towards whole-body learning, "moving gets the brain going" this was an excellent pairing of physical and speech development! An EXCELLENT book co-authored by one of my favorite professors at Brooklyn College, Dr. Longtin! It is an honor and a pleasure to write this review for a wonderful professor who is molding soon-to-be SLPs to "think outside the box" and reach their fullest potential. This book is a MUST HAVE! - Gina-Marie Principe, M.S. CCC-SLP P.C.
