This book describes communication strategies for people with severe disabilities who are nonverbal or minimally verbal. It examines the major assessment and intervention strategies that have been developed to enable expressive and receptive communication. In addition, the book explores contemporary research focused on teaching nonverbal and minimally verbal persons to use a range of communication strategies for expressive and receptive communication. It addresses the advantages and disadvantages of each communication strategy, selecting curriculum for communication intervention programs, and assessing the communication needs of individuals with severe disabilities who are nonverbal or minimally verbal.
