 Very helpful, June 05, 2011

As a doctor, I have been looking for information about tongue-ties. This book was enlightening. I had been learning about diagnosing on [...] and found this book to supplement that information nicely. My only hope is that more health professionals educate themselves about tongue-ties as a preventative measure for breastfeeding problems and possible speech problems later on. This book was a great start.

Great diagnostic aid for tongue tied individuals, June 12, 2007
By Busy Homeschooler and Lactation.. (Tempe, AZ USA)

The photos (not illustrations) in the book are full-color and very helpful in showing different types of tongue ties, and the many not-so-obvious side effects of a tongue tie that isn't treated in a timely manner. It includes many stories involving a tongue tie diagnosis, treatment, and subsequent results, which are extremely educational and reassuring for a family facing this situation. My only complaint is that they don't include infant photos and symptoms; the information is limited to school-age children and older, through adulthood. A great diagnostic tool but not for my purpose, which is working with infants.

Compulsory Reading, June 16, 2002
By Lynne Lee, Speech Pathologist (Sydney, Australia)

An excellent guide on tongue tie and the implications it has on speech. This disorder is largely ignored by health professionals or else is dismissed as not causing difficulties. Since reading this informative book my assessment of tongue tie has become more accurate and objectively determined. This book should be a textbook for all speech and language clinicians and students as well as doctors. Congratulations Carmen for putting the spotlight on this topic.

Sensible, useful guide for parents, November 03, 2000
By Stephen Bridge (Indianapolis, IN USA)

My adopted daughter had tongue-tie. She had trouble swallowing and couldn't make many sounds. The author's descriptions, background, and suggestions for talking with our doctor made the whole process much easier. Also with a full set of tongue exercises for after the surgery, to get your child up to normal tongue use. We're buying a second copy to donate to our public library for other families! As far as we have found, this is the ONLY book for parents out there. Our doctor had never heard of it. Fortunately it is excellent.
