The volume brings together international researchers across disciplines to highlight innovative approaches to holistically describe social and communicative abilities in this population including teleassessment, self-report, and community-engaged research designs. Through a lifespan approach, key issues are raised related to social and communicative functioning across a range of communication modalities from infancy through adulthood.
