Managing the AAC Needs of Adults with Acquired Communication Disabilities

 

The ability to communicate is key to an individual's ability to maintain independence, make choices and participate in life decisions. Persons with acquired disability may present with a severe communication disorder as a result of disease, syndrome, and / or trauma (e.g., ALS, stroke, traumatic brain injury, motor neuron disease etc.) that can affect one or all communication modalities (understanding, expression, reading, writing).

 

This session will explore best practices in the augmentative communication service delivery for persons with acquired complex communication impairments.
