Extract

Communicating without speech: Practical augmentative and alternative communication is an introduction to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for “doctors and other health professionals who may have no prior knowledge of this field.” It differs from most introductory books in AAC in that it is intended neither as a textbook in AAC (e.g., Beukelman & Mirenda, 1998; Glennen & DeCoste, 1997; Lloyd, Fuller, & Arvidson, 1997; von Tetchzner & Martinsen, 2000) nor as a guide for AAC practitioners (McCurlin & Murray, 2000).
