The guide: shows how communication is a human right; shares the experience of being a user of personal assistance who also has a communication impairment; shares the experience of being a personal assistant or support worker, working with someone with a communication impairment; offers practical advice from both the point of view of the disabled person and that of the personal assistant/support worker; and also lists the resources available to those working with this group of people
