- Description
- In this "Ethical conversations" some common ethical issues and resources relevant to the provision of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) or multi-modal communication in Australia are discussed. Guiding theoretical frameworks and Association documents are related to topical situations in speech pathology management in populations with complex communication needs. This paper is not intended as a review of the literature or as a guideline in relation to AAC practice which is forthcoming in the Association's Clinical Guideline on Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Rather, common issues that might confront clinicians in the dynamic field of AAC are discussed in the light of existing theoretical frameworks and Association documents. Bringing these issues to light at this time of rapid change in the field may help clinicians to arrive at good decisions to the benefit of people with complex communication needs and their families.
