Neurodiversity-Affirming Practice for Speech and Language Therapists by Ruth Jones
Are you a speech and language therapist (SLT) working independently, within a speech and language therapy team, or in training? Do you, or might you work with autistic or other neurodivergent people? This book will help you understand the changing narrative around how we support neurodivergent individuals, how to sit with complex thoughts and feelings you may have, and how to grow your capacity to unlearn, adapt and shift your values and practice.
This essential guide considers what neurodiversity is and what it means to practice in a neurodiversity-affirming way, considering why we should be doing so and, importantly, how to do it. The book moves through the context of neurodiversity in recent times and considers key historical approaches within speech and language therapy. Chapters offer space for reflective practice based on what we know now, for both individual reflection and with colleagues as part of a wider team, before introducing practical strategies to challenge and change how we work with neurodivergent individuals. Throughout, the voices of autistic and ADHD SLTs are included and amplified, sharing their lived experiences and perspectives to further support teams to develop neurodiversity-informed practice.
This book offers a safe and supportive space to explore a topic that can be uncomfortable and scary but must be delved into to provide neurodivergent people with access to therapists with knowledge, skills, and advocacy approaches to best meet their needs. It will be crucial reading for all practising and training speech and language therapists.

"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
