Overview
This practical text, focused mainly upon children with learning disability, follows a need to know order starting with an exploration of a range of topics including theoretical and practical issues related to the appraisal and assessment of communication needs, management and intervention issues and work on pre-symbolic and pre-linguistic development. For those requiring help with more specialized subjects, following chapters deal with a variety of subjects such as the use of augmentative and alternative communication and low and high tech approaches. The last two chapters address topics which have recently attracted attention: the management of the communication needs of service users with challenging behaviour and those with learning disability and mental illness combined. Case studies illustrate a number of practical issues.
