The reality is, that unless they have had a student clinical placement in this field, they will qualify with very little experience in this area. This book is an approachable guide to AAC and covers the various types, including paper-based and voice-output communication aids. There is guidance on how to assess a person who might need AAC, and how to work collaboratively with those who support the person on a daily basis. Battye lays out comprehensive templates of core vocabulary and guides for designing a personalised vocabulary, along with pointers for referring to specialised services, signposting families to alternative sources of funding, and making a business case for buying AAC equipment. Written by an expert in the field, this book provides tips and strategies for SLTs who are brand new to AAC, as well as experienced clinicians wanting to gain further confidence in working with this varied client group"--cProvided by publisher. 0aSpeech disordersxPatientsxMeans of communication. 0aPeople with disabilitiesxMeans of communication. 0aCommunication devices for people with disabilities. 0aSpeech therapy.08iOnline version:aBattye, Alison.tNavigating AACdAbingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2023z9781003296850w(DLC)  2022015757  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccSTS  00102ddc40708R-37/1aAIISHbAIISHd2024-08-01l0o616.855 03 BATp23847r2024-08-01 00:00:00w2024-08-01yRFT  00102ddc4070862/1aAIISHbAIISHd2024-08-01l7o616.855 03 BAT;1p23848r2025-11-07 00:00:00s2025-10-30w2024-08-01ySTS  00102ddc4070862/1aAIISHbAIISHd2024-08-01l3o616.855 03 BAT;2p23849r2025-10-24 00:00:00s2025-10-17w2024-08-01ySTS
