Utilization of alternative and augmentative communication systems for children with cerebral palsy
UHLÍKOVÁ, Barbora
This thesis describes the use of alternative communication systems with children who suffer from cerebral palsy (CP) The introduction of the thesis briefly defines CP, its varieties and the causes of its outburst. I paid particular attention to defected communication skills of individuals with CP which negatively affect one's development. The overview of alternative and augmentative communication methods (AAC) focuses particularly on the methods aiming at compensation of impaired communication skills used in the Czech Republic. Second part of the paper contains case studies describing concrete situations with individual children. All the studies examine cases of clients with CP using the AAC. The goal of the paper is to define whether the use of AAC methods leads to an improvement of social relationships and learning skills. The research shows that the use of AAC systems positively affects social relationships and communication skills.
