Reviews

This is a timely and important book for anyone working or living with someone with atypical communication. I am delighted that the editors have gathered together chapters from such well-respected experts in this field. The result is a really well-researched, up-to-date, practical guide. This is sure to be an essential 'go to' reference. - Nikki Kiyimba, PhD, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Senior Academic, Bethlehem Tertiary Institute, New Zealand.
