Written for teachers, speech pathologists, parents and all who may be communicative partners with a person who has severe disability, the book describes practical approaches to improving the communicative competence of the child or student, as well as that of people interacting with such children.
Case studies are used to illustrate and highlight issues which may arise, and workshop material is included to help people involved in communication interaction become aware of the processes involved.
