Book to read to help in understanding your child that's non-verbal

[Guest guest]

Good Morning All,

My name is Rhoda Forrest and I'm an SLP-A and from VT. A book was suggested

by a friend for me to read as I've worked with students with autism that are

non-verbal. I am no expert, just lots of experience and when I read a book

that I feel needs to be read by parents to help them help their child, I speak.

The book is titled Carly's Voice Breaking Through Autism, and it's written by

Arthur Fleischmann and his non-verbal daughter Carly Fleischmann. Well known in

our circles, Temple Grandin endorsed this book and I quote, " Carly Voice makes

it very clear that a non-verbal person with autism has a rich inner life Typing

independently enabled Carly to express wit, explain her sensory problems, and

show that a good mins has been freed. " Temple Grandin
