Book Reviewed:Enhancing Everyday Communication for Children With Disabilities (co-authored with Jeff Sigafoos and Nancy Butterfield)
Bio from the University of Newcastle: "My research has focused on the needs of individuals with multiple and severe disability. Communication intervention and behaviour support are two main strands of this research, informed by behaviour state assessment. The specialised nature of this work and the low incidence rates mean that it is not always easy to obtain large funding because such investigations may not be perceived as popular in application or valuable for generalised use with a wider population. The needs of these people, nevertheless, are very high and the social justice aspects of their situation are highly significant." -- newcastle.edu.au
