    A brilliant book that supports the development of language for students with intellectual disabilities. The instructions are explicit and direct so allied health assistants and SLSO are both able to assist with delivering individual programs to students. The velcro is brilliant being clear, allowing students to see behind. The only drawback is that some students with strength and motor skills issues need additional support to pull and match as well as when an error occurs instead of saying oopsie, say try again. Just to ensure continual functional langauge development.

    The Talk With Me book is so helpful to use with children of many ages. I used this with my son (2yo) and also my daughter who has a speech and language delay (3.5y). The activities are all very adaptable to suit your child’s needs and extend them where possible. The quality of the book and cards are amazing – and are clearly built to last! I loved seeing my son use the language that we were working on in the book during his play. I noticed that my son was also using the language that we had been working on in other books. The time that my children are able to be engaged and focused on an activity for has increased by using the Busy Books.
