Let me hear your voice by Catherine Maurice is an autobiographical story from the point of view of a mother. This is a narrative that uses several different concepts that have been the focus of lectures and textbooks. It discusses different therapies used for autistic children and even briefly focuses on the controversial topic of inclusion and exclusion. This book provides insight into a myriad of different emotions experienced by parents that are otherwise difficult for an educator to understand. The individuals were relevant and the context was extremely easy to understand, without taking away from the medical terminology. This book was a useful resource, as well as an enjoyable and heartwarming tale. Let Me Hear Your Voice is about a woman who has a daughter named Anne-Marie. Anne-Marie seems to be developing normally. Slowly, the little girl begins to withdraw and perform repetitive tasks. Worried that something is seriously wrong with her two-year-old daughter, Catherine takes her to several doctors, starting with her pediatrician. This doctor recommends that Catherine take Anne-Marie to a specialist, who diagnoses her with “childhood autism”. Several other professionals share this conclusion. After doing a lot of research, Catherine decided to launch an at-home program for her daughter. Anne-Marie undergoes a series of different therapies and eventually “recovers”. During this time, Catherine became pregnant and had a happy baby boy. His name is Michael. Again, around the age of a year and a half, Michel began to lose his speech and to have severe tantrums. Catherine, now understanding certain symptoms, takes Michel to see the specialists.
