Fundamentals of AAC

A Case-Based Approach to Enhancing Communication

By: Nerissa Hall,Jenifer Juengling-Sudkamp, Michelle L. Gutmann,Ellen R. Cohn

Fundamentals of AAC: A Case-Based Approach to Enhancing Communication is a course-friendly textbook designed to walk readers through the theoretical and clinical underpinnings of assessment, intervention, and consultation for individuals with complex communication needs across the lifespan. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) encompasses a variety of communication methods and is used by those with a wide range of speech and language impairments. With a consistent framework and descriptive case studies, as well as input from various stakeholders, readers can gain a comprehensive understanding of the needs of persons who use AAC and how to provide them with ethically and culturally considerate support. Unlike other texts on this topic, this book empowers the reader to visualize AAC in action. Each chapter offers evidence-based information about the topic along with a case study. The case studies combined with short essays from various stakeholders illustrate the variety of ways in which AAC can enhance an individual’s connection with their communication partners and community, and the role of the speech-language pathologist as integral to this process. Intended to easily translate into a 6-, 8-, or 13-week semester course, this textbook is divided into seven distinct sections: Section I provides an overview of AAC, no-tech, mid-tech, and high-tech AAC systems, as well as mobile technology and advancing technology. Section II discusses cultural and linguistic responsivity and how this underlies AAC systems and services. Section III reviews AAC assessment, intervention and implementation for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-aged individuals, along with goal-writing and data collection. Section IV covers assessment, intervention, and implementation for young adults and adults needing AAC. Section V offers the reader detailed information and rich examples of the application of AAC for persons with developmental disabilities. Section VI provides the theoretical foundation and exemplar case studies of AAC for persons with acquired disabilities. Section VII details consultation and training for various stakeholders, as well as tele-AAC services. Key Features: * Overviews with key terms set the stage for each section * 36 case studies with questions and visuals to clearly depict each case * Boxes with practical tips and expert advice

Murdering Chris-boy

By: Nerissa Hyde

Could the police really want to take you into custody for a murder when the murder victim was you? Well, they could if you were Christine, because Christine's life is complicated. In fact she has been living two lives, one as Chris-girl, the other as Chris-boy. Now the police think that Chris-girl has murdered Chris-boy and they have all the CCTV evidence, witnesses, her gun, a knife and forensics to prove it. As prosecutions go, this one should be a slam dunk! And Christine can't produce her own body to prove that she isn't dead because if she does Jade will die. Jade is Chris-boy's girlfriend's daughter and she has been kidnapped by the real murderer, her grandfather, who also happens to be her father.He has also murdered his daughter, who is also Jade's mother, and is busily trying to get Christine framed for this murder too. It's a murder, it's a kidnapping and it's a romance, but above all, it's an adventure.

Social Zooarchaeology

Social Zooarchaeology

Humans and Animals in Prehistory

By: Nerissa Russell

This is the first book to provide a systematic overview of social zooarchaeology, which takes a holistic view of human-animal relations in the past. Until recently, archaeological analysis of faunal evidence has primarily focused on the role of animals in the human diet and subsistence economy. This book, however, argues that animals have always played many more roles in human societies: as wealth, companions, spirit helpers, sacrificial victims, totems, centerpieces of feasts, objects of taboos, and more. These social factors are as significant as taphonomic processes in shaping animal bone assemblages. Nerissa Russell uses evidence derived from not only zooarchaeology, but also ethnography, history and classical studies, to suggest the range of human-animal relationships and to examine their importance in human society. Through exploring the significance of animals to ancient humans, this book provides a richer picture of past societies.
