        Can't Talk? Want to Talk!

        by Jo Levett, Stephen Street

        One of the best ways to reach a child is through stories. In this beautifully illustrated book, Jo Levett’s simple, touching tale tells the story through the eyes of a young child with selective mutism and perfectly captures her day-to-day conflict of uncertainty and optimism. Can’t Talk? Want to Talk! provides a vehicle for parents, grandparents and teachers to open up a dialogue around selective mutism and start the process of reducing the crippling anxiety felt by children with this poorly understood communication difficulty. The accompanying advice sheets provide sound, straightforward advice for people who know the child. This resource will help to identify selective mutism in a child’s early years, to destigmatise it and give it a name, thereby helping to reduce some of the anguish and distress felt by children, parents and teachers.

        Understanding Inference

        by Catherine Delamain, Jill Spring

        This book is designed for teachers and speech and language therapists working in the fields of language and literacy, and concerned with developing inferencing skills in their students. The ability to draw inference is a crucial element in the comprehension of written language, and this valuable tool aids in mainstream classes throughout Key Stage 2. It is especially appropriate for work with children with speech, language and communication needs and those on the autistic spectrum, who are likely to have particular difficulty understanding inference.  This book contains a collection of 300 texts which are graded, and lead the student gradually from simple tasks with picture support and plentiful clues to more challenging scenarios where true inference is required.  The texts can be used with whole classes, groups and individual children.

        Semantic and Naming Therapy: An Integrated Approach

        Linking the semantic system with the lexicons

        by Elizabeth Cardell

        This book provides clinicians with evidence-based therapy tasks to enhance naming and word-finding abilities in people with aphasia. The resource addresses the clinical questions of not just “what” to do, but “why” it is being done, and “how” to do it. This first book provides the clinician with tasks that are known to strengthen the link between the semantic system and the phonological output lexicon. The development of the treatment tasks has adhered to current models of psycholinguistic processing and current impairment-based aphasia treatment efficacy research. The tasks items are controlled for word frequency, imageability, and length.  Some important and novel features of this therapy resource are that it provides the clinician with: theoretical descriptions of how each task might be influencing the language processing system detailed instructions about tasks and how to teach-on-error structure for monitoring progress and moving clients to higher or lower treatment levels a means through which rate of presentation can be controlled and manipulated In addition, there is repetition and integration of key naming items across different therapy tasks to enhance and reinforce learning, in line with current cognitive learning theory. The resource uses illustrations and includes:(i) a treatment manual containing all information and worksheets(ii) a CD with a copy of all worksheets, as well as computerised naming, oral reading, and repetition tasks

        A handbook for personal storytelling with children and young people who have severe communication difficulties

        by Nicola Grove

        Personal stories are the way we develop a sense of who we are, make sense of our experiences and make and sustain relationships.  Research shows that people with severe communication difficulties - such as severe and profound learning disabilities, autism and language impairments - find it hard to recall and share the stories of their lives.  This handbook draws on fifteen years of research and practice into personal storytelling in adult services and educational settings. Storysharing is a unique, innovative and highly effective approach to enabling the most severely disabled individuals to participate in telling their own stories.

Time Matters includes assessments, teaching activities and strategies to reinforce the learning of time concepts. The content covers a broad spectrum of time-related subjects from highly practical skills related to teaching clock and calendar time, to functional activities to develop an individual’s ability to estimate time and organise their time effectively.

        Practical Intervention for Early Childhood Stammering

        by Elaine Kelman, Alison Nicholas

        Therapy for young children who stammer is now high priority, with growing research evidence supporting early intervention. This manual from the Michael Palin Centre for stammering Children (MPC) is a detailed, step-by-step guide intended to support general and specialist speech and language therapists in developing their confidence and skills in working with this age group. The manual is based on a strong theoretical framework which explains the factors contributing to the onset and development of stammering and describes recent research findings regarding the nature of stammering in this age group. It provides a comprehensive guide to the assessment process and helps to identify which children are likely to recover naturally and which are at risk of developing a persistent stammering problem. The therapy approach has been successfully tried and tested at the Michael Palin Centre, and the manual provides detailed descriptions of the therapy process. It also includes a supporting CD-Rom and photocopiable resources such as assessment and therapy forms and parents' handouts. The MPC approach is a combination of indirect therapy methods. The indirect therapy component is aimed at helping parents through the use of video feedback, to identify interaction strategies that support their child's fluency and enhance it in the home environment. In addition the approach addresses other concerns, for example, in relation to confidence building, dealing with sensitive children, and establishing clear structures and boundaries to enhance family relationships. For children at increased risk of persistence, the manual incorporates a direct therapy programme which involves teaching the child strategies for developing fluency. This manual disseminates the MPC's specialist therapy knowledge and research findings, and is an invaluable guide for all speech and language therapists and students working with stammering. Therapy for young children who stammer is now high priority, with growing research evidence supporting early intervention.
