Overview

Pauline Lukey first met Ppinder Hundal when Ppinder was eight years old, at which point Ppinder was non-verbal and had no formal way of communicating. This account charts their development together as, through the use of facilitated communication techniques, Ppinder has become an eager and increasingly fluent communicator. Both authors recount their remarkable journey from Ppinder's early use of sign language, onto assisted typing (the title is the first spontaneous phrase that Ppinder typed) and her ability now to discuss medication with her carers and converse, via laptop, with her friends.

This little book describes the remarkable journey of two women. It is written by both of them. Like so many working relationships which develop into friendship this is not a one-sided account but the description of a journey which records the slow awakening of abilities and of the experiences each one has with the other. -- The British Journal of Developmental Disabilities
