Description
Helping Non-Speaking Children in the Early Years: A Fresh Approach to Communication Supporting communication in young children can be a challenging task, especially when they struggle to express themselves. This book offers a unique perspective on how to help non-speaking children develop their foundational speech, language, and communication skills. By focusing on fostering joyful moments of connection, it provides practical strategies to build honest conversations with parents, value empathy and imagination, and take a pro-neurodiversity lens to inform practice. With a wealth of real-life examples from speech therapy sessions and early years settings, this book presents key concepts in bite-size chunks. It explores ways to measure progress and support professional development, making it an essential resource for early years practitioners, speech and language therapists, SENCOs, and anyone looking to support positive communication development in the children in their care.
