System Sclera – nowe narzędzie w komunikacji alternatywnej oraz sposoby jego wykorzystania w praktyce edukacyjnej i terapeutycznej

Abstract

The ability of effective intercommunication is one of the basic competences that conditions the functioning of an individual in society. It helps not only with interpersonal understanding or expressing one’s own views or needs, but also in determining a separate identity, so in a more distant perspective, it enables development. Not developing interpersonal communication skills sentences a person to exclusion and solitude, and consequently to frustration or lowered self-esteem. Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) allows dialogue and work to be established with persons with impaired speech development. Applying pictograms of the Sclera System is one form of AAC which makes it possible to effectively work with persons with disabilities in diverse ways.
