 AAC
Service Delivery: Building Communication Competence
Although
having a the “hardware” of a well-designed
AAC system is critical to effective communication, unless use
of the
system is supported by well-designed implementation plans that
include the supports and services needed by the individual
who will be using
the system and those around him.
In order to
make effective decisions about AAC supports and services needed,
there are many issues
that must be considered. The section
of the module, which is currently under development, will include
a discussion of issues related to building communicative competence
on the part of the user and others in the environments.
