This 1997 Health Care Financing Administration training film presents communication techniques for interviewing people with developmental disabilities. Rehabilitation professionals demonstrate augmentative devices, progressing from tilt, sip-and-puff, and eye-blink switches to sophisticated message-storage systems using symbol-based communication. The film also emphasizes addressing individuals directly, remaining sensitive, and avoiding unnecessary intrusion into personal privacy.
