This book is aimed at health professionals treating children who
fail to develop adequate speech due to complex neurological
conditions or learning disabilities and may require augmentative
and alternative communication (AAC) systems. By presenting current
research and accepted good practise in the field of AAC authors
give detailed information on the neurology of speech and language,
and offer guidelines for the assessment of non-speaking children.
Issues of prognosis for speech, the timing of intervention and the
importance of working within a multidisciplinary framework are
discussed. The central role of families and schools in the
successful introduction and support of AAC for social communication
and curriculum access is recognised. A range of AAC systems and
resources are described, and the views of AAC users and their
families represented. This will be essential reading for clinicians
who treat non-speaking children, and the therapists and other
professionals who support these children.
