Abstract:
This research investigated factors that influence
the decision-making processes of Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs)
in
introducing Augmentative and Alternative Communication to clients with
Multiple Sclerosis. A Literature Review discussed a selection of recent
research in this area, and detailed a clear rationale for this study.
Questionnaires were sent to 200 SLTs in the United Kingdom, and data
from the returned
84 questionnaires was analysed using descriptive
statistics and content analysis. Analysis revealed that influential
factors included
those specific to the disease, to the client and their environment,
and resources available to the SLT. Clinical implications following
analysis of the data are suggested and ideas for future research proposed.
