An increasing number of families and professionals are involved
with severely communication-impaired children, adolescents and
adults who use alternative communication systems to compensate for
delayed systems and strategies that can be used to increase the
communicative possibilities of people with limited spoken language.
The authors discuss factors that are important when choosing
communication systems, assessment strategies, environmental
adaptation, and the principles for teaching comprehension and use
of such communication systems to individuals with different
disabilities; including motor impairments, learning disability and
autism.
This book is unique within the field of augmentative and
alternative communication with its basis in modern developmental
theories of language and communication, its practical approach with
many examples and focus on every-day situations, and its coherent
and readable text. It may serve as an introductory text book for
speech and language therapists, teachers in school and preschool,
psychologists and care nurses, as well as a source of information
for families with members who have severe developmental speech and
language disorders.
