For those working in the field of child and adolescent language disorders, and more generally developmental disorders, the difficulty some children and adolescents have with «non-literal» linguistic expressions is well-known and easily found in both spoken and written language.
This book is a useful practical tool for:
– encouraging the development of mentalistic and pragmatic competences in children aged 6 to 12;
– developing greater communicative and social cognition skills, working in particular on understanding a speaker’s intentions and the use of non-literal linguistic expressions.
The book is divided into two parts:
– a general theoretical framework
– a series of worksheets, divided by level of difficulty and illustrated with colourful cartoons designed to attract the child’s attention.
