Access to Communication: Developing the Basics of Communication with People with Severe Learning Difficulties Through Intensive Interaction

This is a book for anyone who works with, or spends time with people who have learning difficulties, especially those who do not yet use language. The focus of the authors work during the last eight years, has been concerned with opening up the fulfilment and joy of human interaction to people who are remote from communication and companionship. Whilst there is an emphasis on actual practice this is constantly related to a theoretical basis and to a philosophical stance.
