This review is from: Technology for Communication and Cognitive Treatment: The Clinician's Guide (Paperback)

Described as "a revolutionary approach to enhance treatment outcome for people with speech, language, learning, and cognitive disabilities," this 380-page book is full of up-to-date information on all facets of assistive technology. Topics include: getting started with technology; designing therapy and goal setting; selecting hardware, software, and adaptations for computer access; and technology resources for a wide spectrum of disabilities and needs, including verbal and written expression, auditory and reading comprehension, and cognition and memory. Hundreds of web links are provided throughout the book for hardware, software, adaptive equipment, augmentative communication devices, online games & skill rehearsal, and support organizations for diseases and disabilities that affect children and adults. In addition to a wealth of high-tech information, the book also contains low-tech and no-tech strategies and supports.

This book is an invaluable resource for SLPs, OTs, teachers, administrators and other professionals who work with adults and children with special needs in acute care, rehabilitation, long-term care, and educational facilities.
