Extract

The theme of the 11th National Conference of the Australian Association of Special Education was Responding to Expectations. Responding to expectations requires anticipation of correct educational directions and proper teaching strategies to accommodate such directions. All decisions that result from responding to expectations are fundamentally controversial and should be challenged. Through the process of challenge, expectations change, and this has been the case in the development of teaching strategies to improve communication for those who have a limited response repertoire.
