The Palgrave Handbook of Disability and Communication by Michael S. Jeffress,Joy M. Cypher,Jim Ferris,Julie-Ann Scott-Pollock Pdf

The Palgrave Handbook of Disability and Communication covers a broad spectrum of topics related to how we perceive and understand disability and the language, constructs, constraints and communication behavior that shape disability discourse within society. The essays and original research presented in this volume address important matters of disability identity and intersectionality, broader cultural narratives and representation, institutional constructs and constraints, and points related to disability justice, advocacy, and public policy. In doing so, this book brings together a diverse group of over 40 international scholars to address timely problems and to promote disability justice by interrogating the way people communicate not only to people with disabilities, but also how we communicate about disability, and how people express themselves through their disabled identity.

Allow Me! by Irma D. Ruiter Pdf

People with developmental delays, like the rest of us are eager to reveal who they are. All this requires some form of language. But often people with developmental disabilities don't communicate in the same way. This guidebook is offered as one way in which we can connect with people who have developmental delays - in a way in which language can be nourished. It will help stop the communication barriers which are frequently misunderstood.

An Introduction to Communicating Effectively with People with Learning Disabilities by Kate Richardson,Rorie Fulton Pdf

People with learning disabilities often depend on others for the support they need in order to live their lives. For this reason, effective communication is essential if people with learning disabilities are to secure rights, inclusion, choice and independence. The degree to which individuals depend on the support of others varies from one person to the next - support may be for just a couple of hours a week to do the shopping and make sure the bills get paid, or, for an individual with high support needs, it may be round-the-clock help from a small team of personal assistants. For all individuals, however, the effectiveness of the support provided depends on the quality of the relationship between the individual and those who support them. The quality of this relationship depends, in turn, on the quality of the communication between them. This Care Quality Guide is based on the training pack Effective Communication with People with Learning Disabilities, and explains the fundamental basics of good communication to inspire care workers to think about the way they communicate with the people in their care. Communicating Effectively with Individuals with Learning Disabilities: A Care Quality Guide for health and social care staff and carers distils the information in the main training pack and includes new and unique content to allow for individual study. It explores the EPIC model of communication, devised by the authors, and how the four elements of this model need to be in place for good communication to take place: E - The communication Environment P - The communication Partner I - The Individual's communication skills C - The communication Culture In this model, the communication partner is the essential element of the jigsaw that needs to be in place for all the others to connect. It also covers how to avoid communication breaking down, and practical guidance for techniques to repair if and when it does, and provides descriptions of a wide range of communication techniques and aids to further enhance work with people with learning disabilities, such as gesture and eye gaze, pictures and photographs, visual timetables and hi-tech communication aids using iPads, for example, or other technological supports.

Pedagogy, Disability and Communication by Michael S. Jeffress Pdf

Research has long substantiated the fact that living with a disability creates significant and complex challenges to identity negotiation, the practice of communication, and the development of interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, individuals without disabilities often lack the knowledge and tools to experience self-efficacy in communicating with their differently-abled peers. So how do these challenges translate to the incorporation of disability studies in a classroom context and the need to foster an inclusive environment for differently-abled students? Bringing together a range of perspectives from communication and disability studies scholars, this collection provides a theoretical foundation along with practical solutions for the inclusion of disability studies within the everyday curriculum. It examines a variety of aspects of communication studies including interpersonal, intercultural, health, political and business communication as well as ethics, gender and public speaking, offering case study examples and pedagogical strategies as to the best way to approach the subject of disability in education. It will be of interest to students, researchers and educators in communication and disability studies as well as scholars of sociology and social policy, gender studies, public health and pedagogy. It will also appeal to anyone who has wondered how to bring about a greater degree of inclusion and ethics within the classroom.

Simplified Signs: A Manual Sign-Communication System for Special Populations, Volume 2. by John D. Bonvillian,Nicole Kissane Lee,Tracy T. Dooley ,Filip T. Loncke Pdf

Simplified Signs presents a system of manual sign communication intended for special populations who have had limited success mastering spoken or full sign languages. It is the culmination of over twenty years of research and development by the authors. The Simplified Sign System has been developed and tested for ease of sign comprehension, memorization, and formation by limiting the complexity of the motor skills required to form each sign, and by ensuring that each sign visually resembles the meaning it conveys. Volume 1 outlines the research underpinning and informing the project, and places the Simplified Sign System in a wider context of sign usage, historically and by different populations. Volume 2 presents the lexicon of signs, totalling approximately 1000 signs, each with a clear illustration and a written description of how the sign is formed, as well as a memory aid that connects the sign visually to the meaning that it conveys. While the Simplified Sign System originally was developed to meet the needs of persons with intellectual disabilities, cerebral palsy, autism, or aphasia, it may also assist the communication needs of a wider audience – such as healthcare professionals, aid workers, military personnel , travellers or parents, and children who have not yet mastered spoken language. The system also has been shown to enhance learning for individuals studying a foreign language. Lucid and comprehensive, this work constitutes a valuable resource that will enhance the communicative interactions of many different people, and will be of great interest to researchers and educators alike.

The Handbook of Augmentative and Alternative Communication by Sharon Glennen,Denise C. DeCoste Pdf

Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is a field which crosses many disciplinary boundaries. It is a rapidly changing field that uses the latest innovations and technologies to aid the language-disabled, and requires fluency not only in the hands-on technological aspect, but the service-delivery side as well. This well-written handbook addresses that need and is filled with practical information and extensive referencing. Some of its unique features include overview of development of assistive technology and its links with AAC, and present service delivery models in a variety of settings; discussions of available technology systems, strategies, and access, and issues of literacy development, funding and legal responsibility, and program effectiveness; examines special populations and special environments; includes case studies throughout; and extensive appendixes of devices, manufacturers, associations. A valuable text for graduate students studying communication disorders and special education, the book would be a useful addition to the professional library of anyone working with AAC users, most especially for those working with children.
