Autobiography: Carol Marin, Author, is married, mother of two adult children, and a retired speech therapist. During her 30 year career, she provided speech and language therapies for children, preschool through high school, diagnosed with speech and language delays, including deaf, hearing impaired, and children with autism.
Children's literature was an integral part of the speech and language therapies provided during the author's tenure as a speech therapist. All children love books. The pictures and language supported the development of speech sounds, grammar, vocabulary, reading, spelling, intonation, social interaction, and visual support for the story. The books also provided enjoyment for all involved in the lessons.
Writing this book was fun and fulfilling for the author. She hopes you will enjoy reading about Dorie, Maddie, and Destiny as much as she did while writing Dorie's New Hat.
