I Have Something to Say is a beautifully illustrated, meaningful book about the challenges of a non-speaking young boy with so much to say. In a busy world, how can he communicate and who will listen? Inspired by real children who have taught the author the value of augmentative and alternative methods of communication, I Have Something to Say is a reminder that while communication may look different for some, everyone is worthy of expression, inclusion and connection. The main character in this book is a non-speaking boy who is learning various ways of communicating with those around him. He explores non-verbal means of communication including: pointing, spelling, sign language, picture boards and a speech generating device. This book features a classroom of diverse learners and can be utilized as a teaching tool for students, teachers, parents, therapists, peers and family members. The main character gives readers an inside look at the frustration he feels when he cannot easily share his thoughts, feelings or ideas.
