Description: 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 SL Ts who are brand new to AAC as well as experienced clinicians wanting to gain further confidence in working with this varied client group.
