This review is from: Building Communicative Competence with Individuals Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communicatio (Spiral-bound)

This book is a great introductory book for Speech-Language Pathology students and SLPs beginning to work with individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication. The book outlines in each chapter how to obtain communication goals with the person using AAC. The chapters become a bit repetitive in their teaching tactics, but this does help the reader remember the strategies used. It does focus on individuals with cognitive skills who are able to make choices regarding their communication systems. The material, however, can be applied to individuals who are in the severe to profound range of mental retardation.
