Summary of Dana Suskind's Thirty Million Words

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Parent talk is the most important resource for developing a child’s brain. Without it, children can suffer the lifelong effects of silence. With it, they can soar.

#2 The author is a pediatric cochlear implant surgeon, and he wrote the book on parent talk because he believes that parent talk is the key to helping children hear with a cochlear implant.

#3 The cochlear implant is a surgical procedure that allows deaf people to hear. It was developed in the 1990s, and its significance was increased when it coincided with the development of a neurologic miracle, the universal newborn screening.

#4 The brain and neural structures in the human body are generally unforgiving. From cerebral palsy to strokes, from spinal cord injuries to football-related head trauma, making better rather than correcting tends to be the medical dictum.
