This book is one of the outcomes of a research project which studied the interaction of adult AAC users in a residential setting. The findings are presented in the form of a workbook containing information from the researchers, the AAC users involved, their peers and staff. It contains information about 22 issues which emerged as being significant for the interaction of AAC users.

Each issue is presented in three ways: firstly, from the perspective of the researchers' observations; secondly, commented on by residents and staff during detailed interviews and finally in the form of a set of recommendations. These recommendations (154 in total) will be of value not only to AAC users but also to other people with disabilites, to the staff and carers who work with them and especially to managers.

The workbook can be used in many different ways - e.g. simply for discussion in a one to one setting or in a group; for awareness raising; for training purposes. In its entire form it could be taken on as a standards document of an organisation.
