This book is designed for teachers and speech & language therapists working in the fields of language and literacy, and concerned with developing inferencing skills in their students.

Her last post was team leader for education in Dorset's large speech and language therapy service, where she also formed part of the autism assessment team. Since partial retirement, she has collaborated in setting up a training programme for teachers. This aims at helping first and primary school teachers to give effective support to children with speech, language and communication needs. She continues to run seminars for teachers in partnership with a senior educational psychologist.
