Book Description
When an individual can't speak or has limited intelligibility, interactions with family members, friends, caregivers, and people in the community are frustrating for all involved. "Implementing Augmentative and Alternative Communication" describes how appropriate intervention can help learners overcome severe communication barriers. This comprehensive text shows how to implement communication intervention throughout the learner's day - at school, home, work, and recreation - in situations that are ecologically valid for each learner. "Implementing Augmentative and Alternative Communication" examines a variety of communicative intents and scanning selection techniques. This helpful book shows how to guide learners in the use of a range of communication intents - requesting, rejecting, and obtaining a listener's attention. It explains how learners can express communicative intents by using vocal, gestural, and graphic modes of communication. The scanning selection methods presented include basic and advanced scanning, concurrent use of direct selection and scanning methods, and auditory scanning that can be used as primary and back-up communication systems. This outstanding resource will be valuable of occupational therapists, physical therapists, speech and language pathologists, teachers, students, psychologists, administrators, and program directors. "Implementing Augmentative and Alternative Communication" is an essential tool for meeting the communication needs of persons with severe disabilities.
