Silent Child - Danon-Boileau, Laurent (, Professor of General Linguistics, Universite Rene Descartes (Sorbonne, Paris V))

This landmark book concerns Laurent Danon-Boilea's treatment of six children who were unable for various reasons to talk. It describes their progress as they are gently guided by the author towards communication, first without language using toys and games, and then gradually to the ability to speak. All were able to begin normal schooling after treatment.
