    Talk to Me: Introductory Speech at the Book Launch

    A short speech by me introducing the audience to my book on autism: Talk to Me: Conversation Strategies for Parents of Children on the Autism Spectrum or with Speech and Language Impairments. The book has been very successful and is now in its second print run. I regularly give talks and run workshops to interested parents.
