Even after they have learned to talk, children ages 3-7 with Asperger syndrome, mild autism or social difficulties face special communication challenges. To have real 'talk ability,' children have to understand the meaning behind the words by tuning in to the thoughts and feelings of other people. Parents and professionals have long sought a down-to-earth guide on how to help these children develop the people skills that make it possible to engage in real conversations and connect well with others. TalkAbility answers this need with a wealth of practical strategies that parents can build into their child s everyday life. These strategies help children gain both the social and special language abilities necessary for successful conversations and friendships. This Hanen Centre guidebook continues the centre's longstanding tradition of taking the most current research and turning it into a readable, user-friendly book that gives parents and professionals the tools to support young children's social and language development.

Great, practical strategies
This was one of the more useful ASD books I have read for a while; it actually had some new information! I wrote four pages of useful tips and notes; it has lots of lovely practical stuff to help me continue to build my Asperger son's skills. It is one I would definitely recommend to parents with high-functioning, verbal kids on the spectrum as worthwhile.

Highly Recommended
I purchased this on the recommendation of a multi-disciplinary team that assess children for autism. It is an excellent book. It is written in clear and accessible language, is usefully illustrated and well structured. It is aimed at children between 3 and 7 who may have a diagnosis of Aspergers, high functioning autism or no diagnosis at all but who experience difficulties with social interactions. However I think it would be of use to any parent who wants to develop their child's language and social skills. It has useful checklists to help a parent establish what a child's needs are. I would also recommend it to teachers, as it has plenty of clearly explained approaches to take to help children develop theses skills. It also explores sensory issues in a way that is easily grasped. It is very much child-centred as well, focussing very positively on the child's development.
