Description of initiative
The project Language pills or Book on prescription is a county-wide collaboration between Region Gävleborg Kultur Gävleborg, the municipal libraries in Gävleborg, speech therapists, BVC and parents. Many of Gävleborg's libraries have children's books that have the language pill logo on the front. They are read and recommended by both children's librarians and speech therapists precisely for use in language training with children who have a language impairment. When a parent and child visit the speech therapist, Language Pills can be prescribed as part of the child's treatment. Parents and children then go to the library to pick up their "Language Pills" which consist of books that train that particular child's language impairment. This is a training for children's language development. BVC can also recommend parents and children with delayed language development to go to the library and borrow language pill books.
