"Early Communication Skills" has been a popular and widely used publication since becoming available in 1991, and has now been revised to achieve several aims. It is: more user friendly; easy to photocopy in new A4 format; and has an increased range of activities. It includes a new section on Language and Play; and reflects recent research in this area. Throughout the revision process, this publication has retained its original approach to communication and so provides a source of fresh educational and therapeutic ideas for pre-school children. Special features are: a question and answer section designed to answer all common concerns; exercise and worksheets that are photocopy free; and over 100 activities which are suggested to cover all areas of communication from pre-verbal skills to early words.
