  Children with hearing or speech difficulties can experience great frustration and a sense of being left out . This book shows how the problems of deafness can be overcome through alternative forms of communication such as lip reading, sign language and pictures on boards. The text describes children whose speech has been affected by aphasia, dysphasia or cerebral palsy, emphasizing that they want to communicate, but may take longer to express themselves. The work of a speech therapist is explained, and the sign language alphabet is featured at the end.
