About this title

Synopsis

Augmentative and Alternative Communication Systems for Persons with Moderate and Severe Disabilities demonstrates strategies for designing communication systems for persons who do not have a communication system of any kind. Written by experts from the fields of special education and speech/language pathology, this practical book describes communication systems and services and illustrated the process for assessing, designing, implementing, and evaluating a communication system for children, youth, and adults with moderate and sever disabilities. Concise case histories of persons ages 31/2 to 37 who are considered difficult to assess in the area of communication or for whom aa system is typically not recommended provide clear examples of how to use standard information and how to collect additional information in the areas of cognition, motor functioning, sensory abilities, and speech and language. --- from book's back cover
