The second edition of Fundamentals of AAC: A Case-Based Approach to Enhancing Communication continues to be a course-friendly textbook designed to walk readers through the theoretical and clinical underpinnings of assessment, intervention, and consultation for individuals with complex communication needs across the lifespan. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) encompasses a variety of communication methods and is used by those with a wide range of speech and language impairments. With a consistent framework and descriptive case studies, as well as input from various stakeholders, readers can gain a comprehensive understanding of the needs of persons who use AAC and how to provide them with ethically and culturally considerate support.
Unlike other texts on this topic, this book empowers readers to visualize AAC in action. Each chapter begins with fundamental concepts and principles, followed by a relevant case study that presents the concepts and principles "in action" that guide the reader through the use of clinical decision-making in AAC. Every case study is designed to underscore the cultural, linguistic, and social variability inherent to the fields of AAC and communication sciences, and how each individual influences the manifestation of the AAC system, treatment, and implementation plans.
Intended to easily translate into a 6-, 8-, or 13-week semester course, this textbook is divided into eight distinct sections:
Section I provides an overview of AAC, no-tech, mid-tech, and high-tech AAC systems, as well as mobile technology and advancing technology.
Section II discusses language fundamentals.
Section III reviews AAC assessment, intervention, and implementation for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged individuals, along with goal-writing and data collection.
Section IV covers assessment, intervention, and implementation for young adults and adults needing AAC.
Section V offers the reader detailed information and rich examples of the application of AAC for persons with developmental disabilities.
Section VI provides the theoretical foundation and exemplar case studies of AAC for persons with acquired disabilities.
Section VII details consultation and training for various stakeholders, as well as tele-AAC services.
Section VIII presents a collection of essays from various stakeholders.
