Reports from California State University Long Beach Highlight Recent Findings in Communication Disorders (Implications of Constraints On the Language of Emerging Aided Communicators and Intervention Decisions: a Tutorial).

A recent report from California State University Long Beach discusses the implications of constraints on the language of emerging aided communicators and intervention decisions for children with complex communication needs. The research examines how intrinsic and extrinsic barriers can impact language acquisition in children using aided augmentative and alternative communication systems. Suggestions for clinical practice are provided to address adverse outcomes related to extrinsic constraints. This peer-reviewed study offers valuable insights for speech-language pathologists working with children with communication disorders. [Extracted from the article]
