This module will discuss the participation model (based on a bioecological, social constructivist approach) as a framework for AAC assessment and intervention. The following aspects will furthermore be dealt with in more detail:

• Appropriate assessment approaches;
• Intervention approaches specific to selected populations with specific reflection upon the evidence base for these approaches;
• The use of communication aids with specific focus on devices, as well as considerations for appropriate selection, design and programming;
• Appropriate positioning for maximising participation of persons with physical disabilities.

At the end of this module the student should be able to apply this knowledge to devise, justify and critically reflect upon an appropriate assessment and intervention plan for a given client.
