Title: Augmentative and alternative communication
First published: 1992
Description: "Approaching severe communication disorders from an intervention perspective, this resource thoroughly prepares students and practicing professionals to serve individuals with augmentative or alternative communication (AAC) needs. In this revised third edition, professionals working or preparing to work with children and adults who use AAC will get new and expanded content." "Readers will still have everything that made the earlier editions of this text so useful: in-depth coverage of AAC assessment, intervention planning, and the many different types of congenital and acquired communication disorders, plus a step-by-step guide to clinical application. A comprehensive textbook for students in introductory courses and a valuable reference for in-service educators and therapists, this book will help professionals guide children and adults as they increase their communicative competence and participate more fully in all aspects of life."--Jacket.
