Strategies for
Adolescents and Adults who are
Moderately/Severely Developmentally DelayedGuidelines for implementing augmentative communication training are
provided in this invaluable 280-page resource book. The book is geared for adolescents in
public schools or adults in post-school training environments. Clear steps describe living,
vocational training, leisure/recreational, and community-living activities.
Interactive augmentative communication is established through a series
of phases of identifying and prioritizing activities, generating interactive scripts,
creating communication overlays, making overlays and devices readily accessible, and
training spontaneous, interactive communication. Innovative information regarding the
development of scripts, the selection of single-meaning versus multi-meaning symbols, and
the design of activity-based overlays and supplemental symbols is included.
In addition, extensive instructions are provided regarding the
fabrication of stationary and portable options for mounting devices in training
environments. Floor plans of engineered communication training are provided.
