Braun, Koch-Buchtmann, Westphal (Eds.): Moments – Supported Communication and Rett Syndrome

The life situation, as well as the quality of life of Rett children and their families, has significantly improved through Supported Communication. Nevertheless, many women and girls affected by Rett Syndrome are permanently and severely impaired in their personal development. Some will remain dependent on physical and non-intentional forms of Supported Communication for life. However, they also benefit from a living environment characterized by mindful and respectful interaction. The authors of this book are committed to this objective. In their contributions, they outline a flexible concept of alternative communication forms.
