Playtime is essential for children's wellbeing and provides key opportunities to make friends. Yet for some children, unstructured play can present real challenges. This beautifully illustrated guide is designed to be used alongside: Zedie and Zoola's Playtime Cards - a pack of 25 cards containing ideas for fun playground games that draw from Zedie and Zoola's playtime universe and encourage children with different communication styles to play together. Zedie and Zoola Light Up the Night - a colourful storybook, which draws on themes relating to friendships, neurodiversity, participation, and advocacy. The cards and storybook explore the topic of communication differences through engaging characters and games and this accompanying guide offers additional advice for adults to use the cards effectively, with helpful contextual information to assist in making playtimes more accessible for children with communication conditions. It is an essential resource for parents and for primary school teachers and speech and language therapists supporting children aged 6-9, as well as anyone looking for new ways to foster an inclusive environment to help children with different communication styles engage and play with their peers.
