Nonverbal communication in children

'A Picture's Worth' examines the value of non-verbal communication strategies for children with autism, and explains the Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS). The authors co-developed PECS and share their expertise in this guide for parents.

Invaluable for parents and for those working in playgroups, nurseries or as childminders, this highly praised book will help you guide your growing child more sensitively and effectively than any childcare manual.

The authors offer the reader an in-depth look at the world of pre-school children through clear text and video-stills. They explain why behaviour patterns emerge and give simple, effective strategies to diffuse situations that are regularly encountered.
