- 요약A study examined facilities in Ontario, Canada, for the assessment and provision of augmentative communication devices as well as ongoing support to the augmentative communicator in his or her community. It also studied opportunities for all adult learners to catch up on basic education and specific opportunities for all adults to learn about new technology. These three areas of service provision were analyzed from a consumers viewpoint to identify where and what the needs were and how they were met. The study was undertaken within a framework of increased public awareness, acceptance of needs, and positive government policies and support for programs that enable full participation. The Assistive Devices Program (ADP) comprehensively attended to the integration of clinic operation in conjunction with device funding, but the system was costly to administer. For adults over age 23, a variety of projects, services, and programs were available in a diffuse and uncoordinated way. Adult education agencies had two modes of operation--curriculum centered and client centered. The conclusion was that the best of adult education practice acknowledged the empowerment of individuals as the ultimate goal; the best of augmentative communication practice shared this view. Recommendations were made regarding the nature of service provision to people with disabilities, augmentative communication, and new technology awareness. (YLB)
