Allow Me: A Guide to Promoting Communication Skills in Adults with Developmental Delays

Allow Me provides a practical approach to promoting the social and communication skills of individuals with development delays. Written by Irma Ruiter as a result of a pilot project she led at the Hanen Centre, it presents an approach based on the principle that language is learned within positive everyday interactions with those significant in the life of the delayed person.

Profusely illustrated, Allow Me describes the many interactive strategies that help adults with developmental delays engage in communication during daily routines, leisure activities, and in vocational contexts. It addresses a wide range of communication levels and includes information on augmentative and alternative communication systems. Contains easy-to-use observation charts and individualized Action Plans.
