This spiral-bound visual communication aid is designed to help pediatricians and others who work in medical settings with children who are nonverbal, including toddlers; children with conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, language disorders, intellectual disabilities, or oral-motor apraxia; and children who do not speak English. Nearly 400 easy to understand, full color images depict common medical procedures, from bandaging to vaccine administration as well as important patient-provider communication, including describing symptoms or post-visit instructions.
