Abstract(s)
A necessidade de comunicar é inerente ao ser humano. Há, no entanto, pessoas que não conseguem comunicar através da fala, ou fazem-no com limitações significativas, necessitando, como tal, de comunicar de forma diferente. Com o presente trabalho pretende alcançar-se um maior conhecimento sobre as potencialidades dos produtos de apoio, de modo a promover a Comunicação Aumentativa e Alternativa, bem como uma maior compreensão sobre o modo como podem ser adaptados às características e necessidades específicas das crianças que não falam, ou que apresentam limitações nesta área. Para esta concretização, incluir-se-á a pesquisa sobre produtos de apoio, tais como softwares e dispositivos específicos que possam constituir-se ferramentas eficazes para a comunicação. Neste âmbito, procurar-se-á analisar o funcionamento dos CRTIC e perceber a dimensão da intervenção do CRTIC Coimbra no âmbito da área da Comunicação Aumentativa e Alternativa e o contributo dos produtos de apoio prescritos, como facilitadores da comunicação das crianças.
Pretende-se que o trabalho nesta área contribua para promover a inclusão escolar e social das crianças com dificuldades de comunicação, a partir da identificação de abordagens e práticas que facilitem a sua participação ativa, permitindo-lhes desenvolver aprendizagens, expressar necessidades, opiniões e sentimentos de modo eficaz.
A metodologia envolveu entrevistas e análise documental. Os resultados obtidos confirmaram o efeito facilitador dos produtos de apoio na comunicação, salientando-se, no entanto, a necessidade de promover ainda mais a formação das equipas educativas e desenvolver a monitorização da utilização dos produtos de apoio.
The need to communicate is inherent to human beings. There are, however, people who cannot communicate through speech, or do so with significant limitations, thus needing to communicate differently. The aim of this research is to achieve greater knowledge about the various forms of augmentative and alternative communication available, as well as a greater understanding of how they can be adapted to the specific characteristics and needs of non-verbal children or those with limitations in this area. This will include research on support products, such as specific software and devices that can be effective tools for communication. In this context, we will seek to analyze the functioning of the CRTIC and, in particular, the impact of the work of CRTIC and to understand the dimension of CRTIC Coimbra's intervention in the area of Augmentative and Alternative Communication and the contribution of the prescribed support products as facilitators of children's communication. It is intended that the work in this area contributes to promoting school and social inclusion for children with communication difficulties, based on the identification of approaches and practices that facilitate their active participation, allowing them to develop learning, express needs, opinions and feelings effectively. The methodology involved interviews and document analysis. The results confirmed the facilitating effect of assistive products on communication, emphasizing, however, the need to promote, even more, the training of educational teams and develop the monitoring of the use of assistive products.
