This book is a story about Michelle, a young adult with disabilities who is unable to speak or communicate effectively. A number of events cause her to feel unhappy and isolated until she and her carers are helped to overcome the communication difficulties. Various solutions are explored, including the use of signing, symbol charts and electronic communication.
Michelle’s story is told through pictures alone to allow each reader to make his or her own interpretation, but there is also text at the back of the book to provide one possible narrative for the pictures.
The book was created by Sarah Barnett and Sheila Hollins and published by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, with financial support from Communication Matters.
Price: £10 plus £1.50 p&p from Communication Matters.
