This essential resource brings together more than 30 internationally recognized researchers from three important disciplines: augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), special education, and applied behavior analysis (ABA). Practitioners and clinicians will discover how to combine key interventions from these disciplines to make positive differences in the lives of the people they work with. They’ll get research-based guidance on
• Using evidence-based teaching methods with learners of all ages
• Conducting effective assessment and linking results with intervention planning
• Selecting high-tech and low-tech AAC options that meet individual needs
• Bringing about lasting changes to behavior with functional communication training
• Evaluating specific interventions that target social communication
• Implementing parent- and peer-mediated interventions
• Using customized visual and environmental supports in a variety of settings
With this meticulously researched guide to today’s best strategies and supports, readers will have the information they need to improve outcomes for people with autism and complex communication needs.
