When a child isn’t talking, or only using a handful of words, it can be hard to know how to help. In my new book, you’ll learn how to spot early moments of communication and build on these to help skills grow.
You’ll find useful strategies in a bite-size format, with a wealth of real-life examples from speech therapy sessions and early years settings. Plus, fresh ideas to:
- Build honest and supportive conversations with parents about communication needs
- Value empathy and imagination as we tune in to each child’s world
- Take a pro-neurodiversity lens to inform your practice
- Measure progress and support professional development
Communication is core to our sense of wellbeing, personal agency and belonging. With a focus on fostering joyful moments of connection, this book offers a fresh perspective and a dose of encouragement for all early years practitioners, speech and language therapists, SENCOs and key people looking to support positive communication development in the children in their care.
