A sequel to Word of Mouth by Janet Lees The purpose of the gospel is to change things and the change it offers is from death to life. Many people will be familiar with the gospel in written form but not everyone uses written versions of the gospel all of the time. Alongside the written Bible, ordinary people often use oral or remembered versions. This book is about the why, how, when, where and what of remembering the gospel. Altogether it presents a companion to remembering the One - Jesus, the Life Giver - whose gospel it is. Tell Me the Stories of Jesus is based on work done with many groups of different sizes and ages and cultures. The examples are set out here to encourage other groups to 'just go for it': remember and by remembering share life and build community. This companion to the remembered gospel aims to encourage and support those who want to work with this process with ordinary people in any place. Janet Lees, a speech therapist and an ordained minister of the United Reformed Church, has been developing the remembered Bible method for over 15 years, with ordinary people of all ages and abilities in Yorkshire and around the UK.

This book examines what speech and language therapists, working individually and in multidisciplinary teams, really do with language-impaired children. Rather than discussing this from the basis of one particular school, theoretical model or approach, the book aims to develop a holistic view of the child, her/his family, environment and progress with language.

Fully updated and expanded, the second edition of this popular text covers all the main causes of acquired speech and language disorders in childhood. 25 cases of children with these disorders are described and their management explained in detail, most from onset and including long term outcomes.New features of the book include a chapter on speech and language disturbance due to cerebral tumour and the treatment of childhood cancers, as well as an expanded chapter on cerebral infection that includes recent work on children surviving cerebral malaria, one of the largest causes of cerebral infection world-wide.The book is suitable for all who want to update and expand their knowledge of these conditions, both undergraduates and postgraduates, particularly speech and language therapists, but also psychologists, teachers and others.

POSP is a way of profiling the orla skills development of children who have oral function difficulty. Based on the work of five practising speacialist speech and language therapists, it aims to help the clinician assess children aged from 0-16 years, to monitor change in oral function over time, and to act as a teaching aid in the area of oral d=skills. It can be used to assess children with a wide range of diagnoses, including cerebral palsy, other neuromuscular disorders affecting oral function, both developmental and acquired, and orofacial anolmalies.
