Notes
1 I would like to acknowledge with deep appreciation the assistance of the very many members of ISAAC who have enriched my understanding of augmentative and alternative communication since 1983. I would particularly like to express my gratitude to members of the ISAAC Executive Committee who served with me during the period 2003–2007: Hilary Johnson, Sudha Kaul, Peggy Locke, Filip Loncke, Katie Price, Anthony Robertson, Vic Valentic and Soeren Vintergaard, as well as Clare Bonnell, Nadine Feldman and Mona Zaccak within the Secretariat.
2 I would like to thank Putul, Mithu, and Barsha, my friends who use AAC, for giving me an insight into the true meaning of Communication; Arjun, my son and inspiration; Anne Warrick, my Guru and my colleagues at IICP for making this journey such a memorable one.
