Augmentative and Alternative Communication: Models and Applications
2nd Edition
by Filip Loncke (Author)
Augmentative
and Alternative Communication: Models and Applications, Second Edition
describes augmentative and alternative communication (AAC)
comprehensively and offers a framework for understanding how AAC
intervention can be used in the process of communication. This textbook
is intended to serve as the primary text for graduate-level courses in
augmentative and alternative communication in speech-language pathology
programs. It also serves as an essential resource for practicing
clinicians.
AAC is used by an ever-growing group of individuals
of all ages, each with their own personal and communication needs. The
book presents the various AAC interventions and teaches the prospective
clinician which intervention may be effective depending on the needs,
condition, and prognosis of the client. The text details how
communication is shaped by internal and external factors and how
communication affects social functioning.
