Explain linguistic competence and operational competence and how they relate to AAC,
and give an example for each. - answerlinguistic competence: refers to the receptive
expressive language skills of one's native language(s). It also involves knowledge of the
linguistic code that is unique to the AAC system. This relates to AAC because linguistic
competence is used to learn the drawings, words and signs for the given device and
how to use them according to the language they are speaking.
operational competence: the technical skills needed to operate the AAC system. It is a
general knowledge of how the device works. This is needed in order to work the device
correctly and the more operational competence the client has, the more efficient they
will be at using the system.
Explain social competence and strategic competence and how they relate to AAC, and
give an example for each. - answerSocial competence: knowledge/skills for social
interaction such as initiating, maintaining, developing, and ending a conversation. It
requires the client to have knowledge in both sociolinguistic and sociorelational aspects
of communication. This relates to AAC because the client needs to know how to
appropriately use the device in social situations.
, Strategic competence: knowledge of compensatory strategies that can be used due to
limitations of the AAC. The client's ability to resolve communication breakdowns or with
a new person would be an example of using strategic competence.
What is small talk? What is its purpose? What is generic small talk? What is specific
small talk? Give an example of each. - answerSmall talk: a type of conversational
exchange used for initiating and maintaining conversational interactions. Small talk is
used as a transition stage between the greeting and the information-sharing stage,
especially when the communication partners are not familiar with each other.
generic small talk: small talk that people can use with a variety of different
conversational partners because it does not refer to specific information. An example of
this would be asking about someone's family or what is happening.
Specific small talk: small talk that people can only use with certain conversational
partners because the topic refers to someone of something specific. An example would
be asking about someone's wife or specifically referring to a great individual.
Besides small talk, what are four other types of messages of conversation that the
authors list? Briefly define each of them. - answer1. Narration/Storytelling: sharing
stories to entertain, teach, and establish social closeness with a communication partner.
The story can be official or fantasy.
2. Procedural Descriptions: providing detailed descriptions or a process or procedure.
They are usually rich in detail, contain sequential information and require timely and
efficient communication.
3. Content-Specific conversations: non-scripted conversations that contain an
informational give and take between the communication partners.
4. wrap-up remarks/farewell statements: statements used to signal the desire to end the
interaction

answerCoverage vocabulary is highly dependent on the needs of the individual. It is
vocabulary that is needed to communicate essential messages and can cover the
individual's basic communication needs.
For preliterate individuals, coverage vocabulary is commonly organized by context so
that the words are available when each context arises.
What is developmental vocabulary? Why is it important for AAC? What strategy could
you use to help a child develop his/her vocabulary using AAC? - answerDevelopmental
vocabulary includes words that the individual does not know yet, but they encourage
language and vocabulary growth. The words don't serve a functional purpose, but rather
a language development purpose.
