Although there are several book chapters dedicated to aphasia in currently available textbooks in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), this is the first book dedicated entirely to AAC and aphasia. The book aims to: Provide an overview of aphasia and various treatment approaches. Provide a comprehensive review of AAC intervention approaches for persons with aphasia. Evaluate the efficacy of AAC intervention approaches that use technology, such as speech generating devices, and non-technological AAC approaches as part of a treatment package. Examine the ways in which techniques and strategies can be applied to persons with aphasia. Better understand how both direct stakeholders (i.e., persons with aphasia) as well as indirect stakeholders (e.g., close and extended family members, friends, paid caregivers) feel about the effectiveness of AAC intervention in persons with aphasia.Augmentative and alternative communication perspectives series ;Volume 3.Aphasic personsPeople with disabilitiesMeans of communicationAphasic persons.People with disabilitiesMeans of communication.616.8552Koul RajinderBeck Ann R.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828892403321Augmentative and alternative communication for adults with aphasia4095494UNINA
