Promoting Social Interaction for Individuals with Communicative Impairments: Making Contact - Softcover
Synopsis
All humans have an in-built need to communicate with others, and this book presents successful approaches to nurturing communicative abilities in people who have some type of communication impairment.The contributors look at a wide range of approaches, including intensive interaction, co-creative communication, sensory integration and music therapy, for a variety of impairments, including autism, profound learning disabilities, deaf, blindness, severe early neglect and dementia. This wide perspective provides insight into what it feels like to struggle with a communicative impairment, and how those who work with and care about such individuals can and should think more creatively about how to make contact with them.Covering both the theory and practical implementation of different interventions, this book will be invaluable for health and social work professionals, psychologists, psychotherapists, counsellors, speech and language therapists, as well as researchers, teachers and students in these fields.
