Acquiring Severe Communication Disabilities- Interactions, Perceptions And Adjustment Of Friends And The Public
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$104,018.00
Summary
People with severe communication impairments are rarely studied in everyday interactions. It is unclear how these people manage everyday affairs with friends and the community in the absence of intact language, speech, voice, or cognition. This project will inform Speech Pathologists of the range of communication strategies used by these people to function in the community. It will also lead to an urgently needed training program for the community to maximise reintegration for these people.
