Description
Book SynopsisThis practical resource is designed to help the families and professionals who support children who use augmentative and assistive communication (AAC) to interact with the world around them. The research-based Hear Me into Voice protocol, presented at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Annual Convention in 2018, the California Speech-Language Hearing Association Annual Convention in 2017, and the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication Conference in 2016, provides communication partners with a functional knowledge of the childâs communication skills and provides a practical intervention plan to carry forward. Through this protocol and intervention plan, communication partners can engage with the childâs personal voice, through their varying multimodal forms of communication; the child is given the space to grow into a competent and confident communicator.
