Ron’s Feeling Blue (Books Beyond Words) [Paperback]

Awaiting GM review

Amazon blurb: ‘In the Books Beyond Words series the stories are told through pictures only. They are for adults with learning (intellectual) disabilities, but are useful for anyone with communication difficulties. Ron, a young man with learning disabilities, has lost interest in the things he usually enjoys – even eating and watching television. He doesn’t want to see his friends or take part in any activities. He stays in bed and gets angry when his friends try to talk to him and bring him food. His GP (family doctor) visits and diagnoses Ron with depression. Ron sees his GP regularly who helps him to feel better – he starts to enjoy doing things again. Two additional images illustrate the doctor prescribing medication for the depression. New to the second edition is text at the back of the book that includes: background information on depression, guidance for supporters and carers on using the books, a suggested storyline, plus updated contact details for supporting organisations and related resources.’
