Augmentative & Alternative Communication

This new book provides an overview of augmentative &

effective and suitable communication option for people with ASDs.
Throughout, there are real life vignettes of individuals using
AAC, which vividly demonstrate how these strategies increase
their communication and participation in the world around them.
For parents, teachers, and practitioners looking for information
