Michelle Finds a Voice

Product Description:

This is the story of a young woman with cerebral palsy who is unable to speak, and finds it difficult to communicate what she is thinking and feeling to people who might help her. She feels isolated and unhappy. Her supporters and carers are frustrated that they cannot understand or recognise her needs.
