An assessment and intervention tool to help individuals with complex communication needs and their families determine the most appropriate technologies and communication strategies
Planning communication strategies includes the varying needs of listeners, recognising that communicating with family is usually easier and will require less assistance than communicating with casual acquaintances or strangers.
The Social Networks family of products was developed to help individuals, families and professionals determine the most appropriate technologies and communication strategies for students with complex communication needs. Social Networks is grounded in the principles of functional goal-setting and person-centred planning.
