This article describes three follow-up assessment models explored by an interdisciplinary augmentative communication team located at a regional center. It also addresses the relationship between the team's experiences with the models and the evolution of team expertise in making recommendations for augmentative communication techniques. The three models are characterized in Table 1 in terms of services offered, training provided, cost, advantages, and disadvantages. Perspectives on assessment and team development are discussed, with case studies included to illustrate major points. We conclude that all three models were beneficial to the process of developing sound assessment techniques. |
