I have a 7 year old non verbal autistic son who types. This is a great book (unfortunately the title is currently politically incorrect) to tell you how to aid a child with severe communication deficets to acheive independance in communication with the speaking world.
I accidently reviewed the wrong book the following review is for another book I just got that is titled Autism and Myth of the Person Alone, by Douglas Biklen. First of all I have to say I haven't had a chance to finish this book, but am almost done with it.
Facilitated communication training is a means of improving the communication skills of people without speech, and Rosemary Crossley is the person who discovered it this time around. She's thus a good person to explain what it is, what it does, and what it can achieve.
