Exploring Semi-Speaking as a Communication Identity is a reflective practice companion which takes an expansive approach to supporting autistic and otherwise neurodivergent people who do not always have access to speech. Written for speech and language therapists, and relevant to other interested people, the book challenges traditional ideas about communication. It offers practical insights grounded in the neurodiversity paradigm, and amplifies neurodivergent voices alongside contributions from people with lived and professional experience of semi-speaking, situational mutism and AAC. Readers are invited on a journey of reflection through their own practice, reconsidering assumptions, deepening thinking, and expanding their understanding in this area. Topics include communication identity, communication capacity, AAC, multi-modal communication and shared understanding to support collaborative discussion. Encouraging curiosity, this comprehensive resource is essential reading for anyone interested in semi-speaking and communication identity.
