Social Networks -
Communication Assessment and Intervention Planning
By Sarah Blackstone, Ph.D. and
Mary Hunt-Berg, Ph.D.
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. The Social
Networks video illustrates how individuals with complex communication needs have broadened
their circle of friends with the help of communication partners. The Social Networks DVD
provides excellent “how to” information to conduct assessments and broaden the
experience using the tools through in-depth interviews with leading experts and others who
have put Social Networks into practice. The 50-page spiral bound manual helps
practitioners guide and refine the intervention process, while the ‘Social
Networks’ Inventory Booklets are used for systematically collecting information about
individuals and their current modes of expression.
