A Day with Daisy starts off with a comprehensive review of 10 language facilitating strategies that speech therapists model for parents to use in their daily lives. The author describes these strategies in ways that are easy to understand. Following the 10 strategies is the story of Daisy. The speech bubbles in the story are meant to be read aloud to the child, while the footnotes on the bottom stating which strategy is being used are for the parents. There are extra communication tips and developmental insight on some of the pages.

Daisy is a 2-year-old girl who only says a handful of words. Typically, 2-year-olds produce 200-400 words and are starting to speak in 2-word phrases. Daisy's parents use speech and language strategies they learned from their pediatric speech therapist (from the beginning of the book). These strategies are easily embedded into daily routines, so as families go about their busy lives, they can simultaneously promote their child's language development!

The author of this story, a licensed and experienced pediatric speech language pathologist, has had great success using these strategies with children ages 0-3 for over a decade. These simple tips and tricks can be used with children who are language delayed, like Daisy, children on the Autism Spectrum, and late talkers. This book is not to replace speech therapy, but to act as a tool for families in conjunction with speech therapy. One can also use these strategies with typically developing children to support their language development.
