| About The Authors |
- Sabrina Freeman, Ph.D., received her doctorate from Stanford
University. Dr. Freeman, a sociologist and technical writer, worked
in consultation with an innovative speech pathologist to compile
newly developed exercises, games and drills for this population
of children. Teach Me Language is designed to allow speech
pathologists, para-professionals and experienced parents to use
and customize the educational instruments presented in this book.
After receiving her doctorate from Stanford, Dr. Freeman became
involved in the project when she saw the tremendous difference these
drills made to her own child's ability to communicate, and learn.
Teach Me Language is designed for children, such as her own,
who learned basic language concepts but needed "Step Two"
to improve their ability to communicate and understand higher level
language.

several Autism therapy teams. After receiving her degree in Psychology

of Arts Degree from Columbia University in Behavioral Disorders
and Applied Behavior Analysis, Ms. Dake has been working as a Behavioral
Consultant. Ms. Dake refined and tested many of the exercises collected
