very impressed
This is a fantastic resource for parents, educators, and even the children themselves. So much is expected from children with self-awareness and lack of verbal communication. I really appreciated this guide and I will be purchasing a physical copy to keep with me aside from just this e-book.

Too technical.
I chose this book to review because I’m interested in the words are used. I’m afraid I quickly lost that initial enthusiasm as the author, who clearly knows what she is talking about, went very technical and I quickly lost interest. Should appeal to teachers and linguists but not to the everyday reader.

Resourceful
A load of information to help both parents and children. There is so much we have to learn and I was happy that it was easy to read and apply.
