Augmentative and Alternative Communication

Augmentative and Alternative Communication: An Interactive Clinical Casebook is a multimedia educational tool, available both as a DVD and as an e-learning, web-based program, that will be a valuable resource to instructors, students, and practicing clinicians. It presents 13 clinical stories written and narrated by augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) experts. These stories present a framework for assessment and treatment service delivery across a wide variety of people with complex communication needs. Key features include: Narration: Each chapter features audio commentary (and written transcriptions) from the authors that illustrate their decision-making process in determining an approach to assessment and intervention. Multimedia content: Chapters feature videos and photos, as well as sample clinical forms, notes, and reports. Diverse selection: Chapters span across age ranges and address various developmental and acquired disabilities. Foreword: Noah Trembly, a man who uses AAC, provides the consumer perspective on this resource. In 2014, Trembly was selected for the 18th Annual Edwin and Esther Prentke Distinguished Lecture at the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association annual convention.
