Pam Fleming

This book is about children with speech and language impairments and what teachers and other professionals can do to promote their learning and their social inclusion in a mainstream setting. A brief introduction to SLI is followed by a chapter on the main issues for the classroom; how teachers can support the preferred learning style of the children and literacy and numeracy strategies are each given a separate section. Inclusion involves more than the learning experience and so the social, emotional and behavioral agenda, including successful transition and working with parents, is given equal emphasis.

Moving Beyond Bitterness and Grief"The Lord is close to the broken hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."(Psalm 34:18)If you're going through a dark season in your life, know that there is hope. In this true account of God's healing power, Lemons and Lace-Bitterness to Beauty reveals how to turn your mourning into dancing so that you can gain a new sense of freedom and hope for the future. Young, in love, and dedicated to church ministry, Pam-a pastor's wife-and her husband Rick seemed to have the best of everything. They were unaware that in their life's journey a series of adverse events would test all they knew about each other and the God they committed their life to serving. From the death of their 14-month-old daughter, Pam's cancer, marital complications and uncertainty about where God was leading them, the couple is left swimming in a sea of doubt about their future. As insecurities grow, brokenness leads to more destruction with Rick eventually taking his own life. Stricken with grief and guilt, Pam reaches out to the only One who can deliver her from her troubles. Has your world suddenly been turned upside down, shaken by undeniable grief and mourning? God, in all His majesty, knows your heart, hears your cry and-like Pam-will exchange the bitterness of life for the beauty of who He is and who you are in Him.

In recognition of the need to include children with speech and language difficulties in mainstream education, this book is a response to the challenge posed by the new responsibility. It encourages support for speech therapists in ordinary schools.
