"This book has been a huge help to me, a mother of a young drooler! We adopted our son at 19 months old and realized he had poor oral-motor skills. He was not able to eat solid foods and drooled terribly. We did get therapy for his eating and we were able to teach him how to use his mouth to chew and swallow food. Everyone told us his drooling would dissappear when he learned to eat, when he had his adenoids removed, when he learned to speak better, etc. All the surgeries and therapies helped him in some ways but not his drooling. It persisted as badly as ever. I actually had kept looking at this book online but didn't get it because I couldn't see paying $16 for such a small book and would it help anyway? Finally in desperation I bought it and was so thankful I did!! This provided me the understanding of my son's problem and so many practical ideas on how to help him. It is a small book and an easy read but so backed with information that I could actually use! None of the other professionals I worked with understood how to work with drooling like Pam Marshalla. We were able to help my son and decrease the drooling during the years he was 2 1/2 to 3 years old. Now he is 4 and almost drool free. I recommend this book to all parents who struggle with this issue."
