It Doesn’t Matter How We Talk

’It Doesn’t Matter How We Talk’ is a colourful and engaging call-and-response picture book which introduces children to the different ways that people communicate. The book was written and illustrated by an NHS Speech and Language Therapist and is a valuable resource for families, Speech and Language Therapists, teachers, and early years practitioners, providing a simple way to facilitate open conversations about disability, diversity, and acceptance with young children. ’It Doesn’t Matter How We Talk’ was born out of a need for early years resources which represent communication differences without referencing negative stigma or judgement. The book aims to promote self-acceptance for children with communication differences and develop understanding amongst their peers.
