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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by therapists experienced in working with nonspeaking clients and their families, this helpful book includes many issues pertinent to the assessment and training of augmented communicators. The field of augmentative communication, which is rapidly gaining recognition in all areas of rehabilitation, is thoroughly addressed here. A summary of the prerequisites for implementing a communication system will be particularly useful to anyone working with nonspeaking clients who do not yet have a method of communication. Included among the topics are assessing cognitive function in clients unable to take intelligence tests in standardized fashion, finding a match between the motor capabilities of the client and the motor demands of various aided and unaided communication systems, and promoting the involvement of the family in the development of a communication system. This indispensable resource also offers information about publication, equipment vendors, and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), the primary leader in augmentative communication.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines the development of the Trace R&D Center as an institution for furthering accessible and assistive technologies. The book walks readers through the Center’s nascent attempts to solve individual challenges with augmentative communication devices through contemporary efforts to establish global frameworks and infrastructures for accessibility. This book is premised on the Center’s mission to maximize the potential of people with disabilities by harnessing evolving technologies while at the same time dismantling the barriers created by those same technological advancements. Readers will learn how this has been done in the past and why this practice should be a fundamental and integrated feature in new technology planning and implementation. The book touches on pre-internet technologies before exploring the huge implications of, first, the personal computer and, second, the Internet. In parallel with the massive growth in scale rendered by the launch of the Web, the book traces the expansion of the Center’s focus from the individual to the universal, particularly in working to establish accessibility standards and infrastructures. Learning from the successes and failures of the Center, the book outlines many past challenges and future directions for the development of technologies for people with disabilities from the research and industry perspectives.
