The focus of AAC is, from the communicator's perspective, emphasizing a functional approach to communication. The book is set out in three parts: part 1, regarding AAC processes, symbols, access and intervention planning; part 2, reviews intervention for people with developmental disabilities, such as autism and learning disabilities; and part 3, reviews intervention for people with acquired communication difficulties, such as multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injury.
