This book is a resource for practicing speech-language pathologists and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) specialists working with culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) populations. Written in an easily accessible style, the book walks the clinician through the process of supporting this particular population and includes tips and resources for easy implementation.

The book focuses on the unique needs of CLD students with complex communication needs. By highlighting important considerations and practical steps rooted in evidence-based practice (EBP), this resource ensures that the AAC provider is meeting the needs of all their students regardless of background. The text encompasses every stage of supporting CLD students and their families along their communication journey, including the clinician’s preliminary steps of reflection upon the interplay of culture and language—and differences in attitudes toward disability and AAC. The authors guide the reader through practical yet culturally responsive assessments and intervention strategies that can be adapted to meet the needs of any student who uses AAC.
