Table of Contents

ACAP identifies the method that has the best prospect of becoming a truly functional and effective method of communication on an individual basis. The profile has a simple yes/no question format, all of which relate to communication-linked skills and levels of development. The assessment takes approximately 15 minutes to complete, after which a simple key is used to pinpoint one of the following methods of augmentative communication; signing (eg Makaton); picture-pointing communication (communication charts, boards and books); or a picture trading communication system such as PECs.
