This review is from: Modern Morse Code in Rehabilitation and Education: New Applications in Assistive Technology (Paperback)

I have found this book to be very helpful in preparing to teach and teaching Morse code to a child. I appreciate the information on the history of Morse code, and found the descriptions of other alternative methods for communication to be helpful for future work with other people who have special needs. The personal accounts from people who rely on Morse code for communicating with others and for self expression is truly inspiring! The suggestions for teaching and learning Morse code, as well as the Morse code teaching icons have provided me with appropriate and easy to use methods for teaching Morse code in a fun way that children can enjoy. This book will provide teachers, caregivers and those who are looking for alternative methods for communication with the information they need to begin to learn Morse code in a way that is easy to understand and use. I highly recommend it!
