The researchers explored the needs of people with cerebral palsy such as those arising from impairments in the ability to speak or write. While looking at the enormous potential of technology to improve the quality of life for many, they viewed the development of interactive behavior as central in any discussion of communication needs and concomitant to the use of technology. In an endeavour to reflect the present level of services and unmet needs in Canada, the use of questionnaires and personal interviews obtained a sample of the concerns and needs of 1) users, or potential users, of augmentative communication systems and technical aids, 2) professionals of several disciplines who work with the population, and 3) parents of cerebral palsied children and adults. Some of the needs raised and discussed, the fulfilment of which would help communication-impaired people with cerebral palsy lead a more active life in society were: early intervention and support to parents; sufficient and specially trained personnel; availability of information and resources; establishment of communication links to abolish isolation and to encourage the best possible use of the technology now available; greatly increased public awareness and action on many levels"--Abstract, page viii.
