Carolyn's book and Communication KickstartTM Coaching Program are suitable for parents and caregivers of children who are struggling to develop words or are only using a few words. It is also suitable for children who have challenges in interacting with others. Any parent enrolling in coaching will need to access their own copy of the book.
