A practical resource for clinicians on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies in medical settings, this book provides helpful information accessible to clinicians who do not specialize in AAC. Chapters cover how to provide communication services to people who have acute or chronic medical conditions that affect their communication. Topics include specific disorders and illnesses, such as brainstem impairments, severe aphasia, dementia, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), as well as how to build and maintain AAC teams. Practical assessment and intervention strategies for each chapter are included on CD-ROM in the back of the book.
