Jude Welton originally trained as a child psychologist specialising in autism. She is a freelance writer and the author of several popular, child-friendly books published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. Jude lives in Moray, Scotland.
Foreword Elizabeth Newson. About this book. Metaphors. Appendix 1: For parents and teachers: a guide to helping children with Asperger Syndrome to understand what we mean. Appendix 2: Ideas for using this book.
'Figures of speech can often cause confusion for young children - ''they had a ball'' doesn't necessarily conjure up the image of people having a good time...A new visual workbook, What did you say? What did you mean?, designed as a springboard for discussion, looks at 100 most common figures of speech. The accompanying illustration showing its literal meaning will help children recognise and learn to enjoy metaphors and figurative language.' - Practical Professional Child Care ''Jude Welton has given us a truly helpful introduction into the world of metaphor... Any parent or teacher working with Asperger's will find it beginning to open the doors of imagination for the child in ways that they might not have thought possible. A lovely and practical book, which children and grownups can enjoy - and giggle over - together.'' - from the Foreword, by Elizabeth Newson
