The Let’s Talk with 10-14s book extends the range of Elklan books aimed to support parents and carers of young people with Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN).

It provides a helpful explanation of the different skills involved in understanding spoken language and talking. Each chapter then provides more information about the impact of communication difficulties on the young person and practical ideas of how to help.

I think parents will find the sections on how to help memory, learning new words and completing homework particularly useful. There are also helpful sections on pragmatic (social) skills, transition and social media use. I would definitely recommend this to parents but also to staff in schools.

A great book with clear explanations of how communication works, lots of really useful strategies to support homework and some great tips to help with transition to secondary school.
