Communicate with Confidence: A Practical Resource for Developing Functional Communication in Young People and Adults

Autor Francesca Beard
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 noi 2026
This practical resource is an essential guide for professionals working with young adults aged 16+ with language and communication difficulties, as they begin the journey to independence. It is designed to help equip young people with the functional communication and vocabulary they need for everyday life to succeed and live an independent life.
This comprehensive text offers:
  • Vocabulary Banks: A guide of commonly used words in real life which, without explicitly understanding or being taught, can be overwhelming and scary.
  • Practical Resources: Photocopy-ready materials that can be used in clinical and educational settings, focusing on hands-on practical learning.
  • Skill Application: Activities focusing on bridging the gap between clinical training and real-world scenarios, empowering young adults to navigate life’s challenges confidently.
The book explores key areas such as accommodation, money management, job interviews, driving, travel, medical matters, leisure activities and vital life skills like understanding documentation such as passports and driving licences. It provides a solid foundation for young adults to share their basic wants and needs, develop self-advocacy skills, build their independence and face the world with confidence as they embark on a path to adulthood.
