Kiori everyone and welcome to another episode of Books Beyond Barriers.
I'm your host Chrissy Wright.
Today we've got episode 39 and the title for this episode is You Can Talk to Me.
Uh so the song Talk to Me was recorded by Stevie Nicks for her third solo album, Rock A Little, in nineteen eighty five.
It was written by Chas Sanford and the single became a hit for Nikki.
Um
for Stevie I should say, peaking at number one on the Billboard, top mainstream rock songs chart for two weeks in 1985.
So on that note, today's topic, I am going to be interviewing the author of a new children's book titled Lila's Story.
Now this story focuses on a child who is non-verbal and so I'm going to give you a bit of an introduction around the basics of communication.
education and language so you can kind of better understand the topic.
So Doctor Libby Cooman is a world-renowned speech and language therapist and she has been dedicated her career to helping people with Down syndrome.
As some of you will know, I have a son with Down syndrome myself, and so I'm quite familiar with her work.
So she's a professor of speech language pathology and audiology.
And in her book titled Helping Children
with Down syndrome to communicate better.
Doctor Cooning gives a definition of communication and language and I thought it would be helpful for us to understand a little bit about the types of communication and the difference between communication and language to um as it relates to the interview and the story we're going to be talking about.
So she tells us that communication is the process b by which one person makes and sends a message to another person.
who then receives the message and decodes it or interprets it, understands what the message is.
Dr.
Kuhn writes that researchers have found that in most daily interactions, the nonverbal cues, such as a scowl or a smile, and vocal inflections and tones, such as the way we say the words, so you will notice sometimes people you can tell they're angry by the tone in their voice.
