Within the field of speech language pathology, there is a growing
awareness of the need to adapt our services to better serve a
diverse population. AAC for All: Culturally and Linguistically
Responsive Practices is designed to serve as a resource for
practicing speech language pathologists and augmentative and
alternative communication (AAC) specialists working with culturally
and linguistically diverse (CLD) populations. Written in an easily
accessible style, this text walks the clinician through the process
of supporting this particular population and includes tips and
resources for easy implementation. Unlike other books on AAC
topics, this book directly focuses on the unique needs of CLD
students with complex communication needs. By highlighting
important considerations and practical steps rooted in
evidence-based practice (EBP), this unique resource ensures the AAC
provider is meeting the needs of all their students regardless of
their backgrounds. The text encompasses every stage of supporting
CLD students and their families along their communication journey,
including the clinician's preliminary steps of reflection upon the
interplay of culture and language, and differences in attitudes
towards disability and AAC. With this understanding, the authors
guide the reader through practical, yet culturally responsive
assessments and interventions strategies that can be adapted to
meet the needs of any student who uses AAC. Key Features More than
50 illustrations and graphs to help clarify and expand on key
concepts covered throughout the text; enabling readers to more
easily understand and apply complex material. Use of highly
readable excerpts throughout the book in the form of Explorations
of key terms, Perspectives & Insights describing real life
professional experiences from the authors, and TIPS (To Implement
Proper Strategies) to guide the reader through practical
intervention recommendations. A clinician-friendly writing style
that will have this book repeatedly reached for as it guides the
reader through their learning and clinical practice. A PluralPlus

the book and additional resources, including: Cultural Competence
