Help individuals with complex communication needs and
their families determine the most appropriate technologies. Planning
communication strategies includes the varying needs of listeners,
recognizing that communicating with family is usually easier and will
require less assistance than communicating with casual acquaintances or
strangers. Social Networks is grounded in the principles of functional
goal-setting and person-centered planning.
The Social Networks DVD presents
interviews with leading experts as well as consumers and shows how
individuals with complex communication needs broaden their “social
network” of friends, acquaintances and people in the community (store
clerks for example), and how varying social situations may require
varying communication systems or techniques.
In addition to the DVD option, you can choose the Social Networks DVD Collection option, which includes a manual and ten inventory booklets:
The Social Networks Manual helps practitioners with assessing communication needs and guiding the intervention process.
The Social Networks Inventory Booklet is used to collect information about communication partners and current modes of expression.
Manual, spiralbound, 50 pgs., 203; 10 inventory booklets. By Sarah
