Abstract

This manual presents a theoretical framework and guidelines for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) assessment and treatment, based on the most recent literature in this area. The book is divided into seven chapters, which focus less on the specific tools of communication than on how to achieve communication itself, and offers a detailed description of the latest best-practice AAC tools, techniques and programmes. The manual is an important, up-to-date addition to the the Spanish-language literature on AAC and will be of great use to students and professionals working in the field alike.
