This week Prof Sue Roulstone (University of West of England) and I have been finalizing page proofs for our new edited book titled Listening to children and young people
with speech language and communication needs.
This book
profiles the voice of the children and young people with speech, language and
communication needs. Throughout the book, many examples of children’s opinions
and thoughts are included, delivered via a range of frontiers, including art,
photographs, and quotes.
Fifty people
have contributed chapters to this book providing insights from speech and
language therapists, social workers, psychologists, teachers, researchers, advocates,
parents, and young people with speech, language and communication needs.More details can be found here.
