So Much to Say by Dr. Stephen Calculator

“A good quality of life occurs when individuals experience a true sense of belonging.” -Dr. Stephen Calculator, Ph.D., CCC-SLP

About the Book

Dr. Calculator goes beyond step-by-step instructions – he gets to the root of why, how, when and where. His philosophy is built upon presuming confidence and the fundamental belief that overestimating potential has less negative consequences than underestimating it.

So Much To Say arms you with a lifetime of experiences that have created more effective communicators who are better able to participate in all facets of life. And as a parent, you know what that means: more happiness, more confidence and more self-ability for your loved one.
