Abstract | This report describes the development of a community-based service for the implementation of augmentative and alternative communication strategies with regard to children with severe disabilities in South Africa. The intervention process was developed by the Centre for Augmentative and Alternative Communication of the University of Pretoria. The service was designed to be socially sensitive and to move towards facilitating a community-based infrastructure for the integration of individuals with severe disabilities into their communities. The underlying assumption of the service model is equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities to become integrated members of the community. The first three phases of the service included initial formal training sessions at six schools, follow-up visits, and more structured informal training sessions. The first three phases are discussed and evaluated in terms of inputs and results, emphasizing the attainment of objectives and affordability. Attention is also given to specific problems, implementation, and the potential for the development of further phases in the service model. Appendixes contain copies of questionnaires and other program implementation and evaluation data and forms. (Contains 32 references.) (JDD) |
