Download or read book Navigating AAC written by Alison Battye and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speech and Language Therapists are assumed to have a knowledge of AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication). The reality is that, unless they have had a student clinical placement in this field, they will qualify with very little experience in this area. This book is an approachable guide to AAC and covers the various types, including paper-based and voice-output communication aids. There is guidance on how to assess a person who might need AAC, and how to work collaboratively with those who support the person on a daily basis. The author discusses the importance of core vocabulary alongside a personalised vocabulary. There are pointers for referring to specialised services, signposting families to alternative sources of funding, and making a business case for buying AAC equipment. Written by an expert in the field, this book provides tips and strategies for SLTs who are brand new to AAC, as well as experienced clinicians wanting to gain further confidence in working with this varied client group.

Download or read book Embedding Evidence Based Practice in Speech and Language Therapy written by Hazel Roddam and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-01-29 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like all health professionals, speech and language therapists (SLTs) need to keep themselves up-to-date with the research evidence base that is relevant to their field of practice and be able to show how this contributes to their clinical decision-making. However, it is not always clear to practitioners how evidence-based practice (EBP) can be properly embedded in their day-to-day activities. In this valuable book, Hazel Roddam and Jemma Skeat present a wealth of instructive examples by SLT contributors from around the world, showing how clinicians, educators, and researchers have risen to the EBP challenge. Embedding evidence-based practice in speech and language therapy showcases the creative ways that SLTs are developing knowledge and skills for EBP, creating contexts that support the use of evidence in practice, and working towards making evidence easily accessible and usable. It includes real-life examples of how SLTs have encountered a clinical problem or situation and have accessed and used the evidence within their day-to-day practice. The contributors come from a wide range of work settings, from services situated within large organizations to those in independent practice, and represent a range of clinical areas, from paediatric to adult and across speech, language, voice, fluency, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), and dysphagia. This book is written for an audience of clinical practitioners, at any stage of their career, and is additionally a valuable resource for SLT students and lecturers.

Download or read book Coaching for Person Centred Healthcare written by Elaine Cook and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide introduces a humanistic, solution-focused coaching model, using lived experience to demonstrate how profound changes in our healthcare experiences and system, for patients and staff, are possible; while also supporting readers to develop their own coaching skills. Combining research, theory, and practice shared through personal experience, readers are introduced to solution-focused, dialogic tools for use in promoting person-centred care. The first section of the book introduces the coaching model and explores its theoretical and philosophical underpinnings, drawing on theories from neuroscience, neurobiology, communication sciences, humanistic psychology, and positive psychology. The second section of the book transitions from theory and research into clinical practice, making evident the broad range of healthcare contexts and domains in which the humanistic, solution-focused approaches are implemented, as well as the profound personal and professional implications associated with their use. The third section of the book focuses on the lived experience of four people, focusing on their interactions with healthcare before and after their coaching training, emphasizing the difference a humanistic, solution-focused approach has made for them and their families. The final section then turns to organizational change and explores how solution-focused coaching provides insights, perspectives, and aspirations for system change. This engaging text is ideal reading for healthcare professionals, teachers, and leaders looking to develop and improve the care they deliver, the experiences of the people they are working with, and the organizations they deliver it within.

Download or read book Sexual and Reproductive Health of Adolescents with Disabilities written by Tafadzwa Rugoho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-12-12 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates various experiences of teaching sexual and reproductive health to adolescents with disabilities. Following the adoption of the UNCRPD, adolescents with disabilities still commonly suffer from widespread violation of their rights particularly concerning sexual and reproductive health – often being viewed as either asexual or hypersexual. Contemporary societies do not readily encourage the participation of these young people in conversations or decision making processes concerning their own sexual and reproductive health. This book delves into such complex issues, critically examining how global communities attempt to teach sexual and reproductive issues to adolescents with disabilities in the modern era.
