Drawing upon her extensive experience, the author illustrates methods of communication and helps readers and staff to set aside their own sense of what ‘reality’ is. This enables them to enter the worlds of others who are struggling to interpret and respond to sets of sensory perceptions different to those we experience in our ‘normal’ world. The key approach in this book is to work creatively, based on an understanding of what a person is experiencing and what it is their behaviour is trying to tell us. The text raises questions about what messages an individual is getting from the world they live in and which of these has meaning for them.
