Rezensionen / Stimmen
"The book is aimed at SLTs, supporting autistic children and young people. A key strength is its neuro-affirming stance, including a section dedicated to autistic people's language preferences. It covers our role in diagnostic assessment and identification of communication supports. This includes advice regarding gestalt langauge learning styles, visual supports and promoting self-advocacy. Online, printable resources are also provided, eg. as assessment templates to supprt professional practice. Overall, this book has been excelleng for developing my practice, and I would highly recommend it to all SLTs supporting autistic children and young people." - Kirsty Macmillan, SLT, NHS Borders (RSCLT Bulletin, November 2024)Weitere Details
