Finding You Finding Me

SUPPORTING INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE NON-VERBAL OR ON THE BORDERLINES OF SPEECH, WITH SERIOUS LEARNING DISABILITIES OR SEVERE BEHAVIOURAL DISTRESS

Recognise the title Finding You Finding Me? It is one of my favourite books. Written beautifully by Phoebe Caldwell who has worked for over 30 years as a practitioner with people whose severe learning disabilities are linked with behavioural distress. (Jessica Kingsley Publishers)

Phoebe Caldwell introduces the practical approach known as Intensive Interaction, making connections through their body language a means of self-expression which makes it possible to build relationships by shifting attention from solitary self-stimulation to shared activity. The outcome is true happiness.

What I respect most is her ability to touch with very deep emotions and her wisdom to ask "How can we get in touch with each other?"

Thank you Phoebe for sharing your knowledge.

I am trying to find out if the book is available in Spanish, so far no joy, will let you know at a later date if I am successful.
