Concise case histories of persons ages 3 1/2 to 37 who are considered difficult to assess in the are of communication or for whom a 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" -- Back cover.

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Simplified Signs A Manual Sign Communication System for Special Populations Volume 1 written by John D. Bonvillian and published by Open Book Publishers. This book was released on 2020-07-30 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simplified Signs presents a system of manual sign communication intended for special populations who have had limited success mastering spoken or full sign languages. It is the culmination of over twenty years of research and development by the authors. The Simplified Sign System has been developed and tested for ease of sign comprehension, memorization, and formation by limiting the complexity of the motor skills required to form each sign, and by ensuring that each sign visually resembles the meaning it conveys. Volume 1 outlines the research underpinning and informing the project, and places the Simplified Sign System in a wider context of sign usage, historically and by different populations. Volume 2 presents the lexicon of signs, totalling approximately 1000 signs, each with a clear illustration and a written description of how the sign is formed, as well as a memory aid that connects the sign visually to the meaning that it conveys. While the Simplified Sign System originally was developed to meet the needs of persons with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, autism, or aphasia, it may also assist the communication needs of a wider audience – such as healthcare professionals, aid workers, military personnel , travellers or parents, and children who have not yet mastered spoken language. The system also has been shown to enhance learning for individuals studying a foreign language. Lucid and comprehensive, this work constitutes a valuable resource that will enhance the communicative interactions of many different people, and will be of great interest to researchers and educators alike.
