Reviews

'This book is full of useful information which must surely be of value to anyone, whatever their discipline, who is trying to help children with difficulties of communication. It also has lessons to teach all those involved with disabled children with its philosophy of doing everything possible to compensate for skills that are lacking.' European Journal of Paediatric Neurology
