Please help me pass the word along to all the parents and

"Oral language-the ability to communicate needs, feelings
and opinions via verbal speech-is the coin-of-the-realm in
today's society. One must be able to interact verbally with
others and an inability to do so, can greatly hamper a
child's development and independence.
For most children, oral language develops quite naturally.
As the child's vocabulary and syntax emerges, he becomes
better able to communicate with others and gains control of
his environment. A child's failure to develop normal verbal
language can create great angst for his parents and
caregivers.
When a parent has concerns about the child's language
development, she often turns to family members or neighbors
for 'expert' advice. The counsel that is provided generally
ranges from unwarranted panic to laissez-faire advice that
the child 'will grow out of it.' Neither of these reactions
is particularly helpful or effective.
However, The Late Talker by Agin, Geng and Nicholl provides
useful, field tested advice for parents who are concerned
about their child's language development. This gem of a
book provides an immensely readable overview of normal
language development and a thorough review of the cause of
language delays and disabilities. The material offers
comfort and counsel for the anxious parents.
The great strength of The Late Talker is its
transdisciplinary approach to the topic. Dr. Agin offers a
thoughtful medical perspective on the problem and
translates the related research into understandable and
useful terms. Co-author Lisa Geng provides an invaluable
parental perspective on the issue by discussing the
emotional reactions of the family to the child with delayed
speech.
The Late Talker provides an unparalleled overview of a
problem faced by families throughout America . But beyond
merely defining the problems, the book offers practical
advice and strategies that the reader can put into
action . . . today. This book belongs in every
pediatrician's office and in the bookshelf of every early
childhood center in the country."

there is any way that I can take an accelerated degree
program so I can start a little quicker. I would
appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Dear Educators,
Greetings from Costa Rica. I would like to announce a
course for
teachers for this coming summer in Costa Rica.
Proyecto Campanario, the Institute for Central American
Studies, and
Lewis and Clark College have teamed up to offer an
intense "Habitats and
Culture of Costa Rica" course for academic or
professional development
credit for teachers. The hands-on course is an
environmental overview of
present day Costa Rica that emphasizes the natural
history of its
diverse landscapes as well as the language and customs of
the people.
Teachers will journey across Costa Ricas extraordinary
geography: from
coral lagoon to once-glaciated peaks of volcanic rock,
experiencing
cloud forests, lowland rainforests, and mangrove swamps.
This is a
rather intense "field trip".
You may read more about the course on our web site and/or
write to us
for a complete course descriptions and registration form.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Nancy Aitken
Director
Proyecto

Here is some help!
We suggest going over the questions several times. You
should do this a number of times until you feel comfortable
with all questions.
Time is the single most common fault that all test takers
have trouble with. If you are familar with these study
questions and know them well you will save time without
knowing it.
Make sure you pace yourself during the test. Keep track of
how much time you have used not how much is left.
Usually two choices can be eliminated from each question.
If you can not eliminate any answers skip this question and
come back to it.
When required to read a passage such as in the lab
questions you should scan/skim the passage to get a vague
impression then read the questions. You will be surprised
at how some answers come to you very quickly.
Do not guess. Eliminate 1-2 choices then "pick" out the
best choice. You should be willing to bet money on this
choice.
Scientific sounding answers are better than slang sounding
answers.
Avoid extreme statements such as answers with these key
words
always...never...completely...
If the answers contain two answers that are opposite from
each other then one of these is usually correct.
These are some sample TIPS and you can get the rest of the
TIPS from
