"Augmentative Communication, Augmentative
Communication News (ACN), distilling the ongoing research, exemplary
practice, and new development activities in the field into a practical format
that made it possible for clinicians, students and teachers to translate ongoing
research and development into immediate practice. For fifteen years (1994-2009)
Michael B. Williams, a gifted writer who himself relies on augmentative
communication tools and strategies, wrote, edited, and oversaw the publications
of Alternatively Speaking. This newsletter was written by and for people
with complex communication needs and covered topics of personal and immediate
interest to individuals who benefit using AAC. Alternatively Speaking provides straight talk on key issues, from the perspective of people who rely on AAC.
Every single issue of these two seminal
publications in the field of AAC is now available"
