Product Description

Product Description
This book uses a clear format to set out the key stages of communication development in babies and young children.

From the Back Cover

Based on a huge body of research in child language and communication development, Children's Communication Skills uses a clear format to set out the key stages of communication development in babies and young children. Its aim is to increase awareness in professionals working with children of what constitutes human communication and what communication skills to expect at any given stage.

Illustrated throughout with real-life examples, this informative text addresses:

  • normal development of verbal and non-verbal communication skills
  • the importance of play in developing these skills
  • developmental communication problems
  • bilingualism, cognition and early literacy development
  • working with parents of children with communication difficulties.

Features designed to make the book an easy source of reference include chapter summaries, age-specific skills tables, sections on warning signs that further help may be needed, and a glossary of key terms. It will be of great use to a wide range of professionals in training or working in health, education and social care.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most accessible book I've read on the subject, 10 Jul 2003
By A Customer
As the parent of a child with delayed communication, I have been eager to read some of the background information about communication development. However, most of the books I have read on the subject are clinical and directed only at professionals working in the field.

I am glad to say that this book could be used equally by parents or professionals. It gives a well rounded look at all aspects of communication development and what can go wrong. The summary pages would be useful for professionals and the excellent drawing and real life examples make it interesting reading for anyone.

I really would recommend this book to anyone with even the most passing interest in the subject. At the end of the book they would certainly want to read more!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book I wanted to write!, 13 Oct 2003
Finishing to read this book, I though: "Well, this is the kind of book I would have like to be able to write". It is nice, clear and very well documented. Readable to parents and any professional in the field. Can I say that I'm a bit jealous!!!!
I will recommand it to students, speech and language therapists, psychologists, neuropsychologists and parents.
Congratulations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful resource!, 31 Jul 2008
By M. I. Abdur Rahman (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a very helpful book if you are worried about your childrens communication skills and development. It is clearly written and easy to understand. It contains alot of information without being too heavy.
It can just be opened and dipped into, and it is easy to find the information you need. Everything is presented in an easy to read format, and set out using excellent and realistic examples. It has been very helpful for me. I would highly recommend this book.
