Augmentative and Alternative and Multimodal Communication for Individuals with Autism: A Conversation

Abstract

Communication is ubiquitous. Join other stakeholders, including practitioners, family members, researchers, and people with ASD for a discussion. Conversation among these key stakeholders is crucial to ensure adequate attention is paid to the needs and desires of the people who will benefit from development and evaluation of new tools to improve communication in this population across all contexts. During this workshop, the conversation partners, presenter and participants, will address critical issues and prevalent practices in multimodal communication, including augmentative and alternative communication, for use with people with autism spectrum disorder.
