“…First, providers should ask what are the specific, most urgent needs to be expressed related to the individual's current condition? In a study by Fager et al (2019), adults who have recently received care in a health care setting selected specific vocabulary and content related to their condition (e.g., suctioning for those on a ventilator, mouth care for those who were unable to eat for a period of time) to be included in communication supports. However, in the same study, health care staff often selected a wider range of general messages that could meet the basic needs of several patients yet the patients themselves preferred more targeted messages that were personalized to their condition.…”

“…However, in the same study, health care staff often selected a wider range of general messages that could meet the basic needs of several patients yet the patients themselves preferred more targeted messages that were personalized to their condition. In addition, Fager et al (2019) found that patients selected a wider range of messages related to asking questions about their specific condition, prognosis, and questions related to the management of their care than health care professionals. Although AAC supports in medical settings typically focus on the expression of urgent medical care needs, finding ways to personalize these supports so that patients can engage in their care by being an active participant in care planning and medical decision-making should not be overlooked.…”

People with disabilities are more likely to be hospitalized and use health care services than people without disabilities. They also report negative experiences interacting with health care providers during these encounters, placing them at risk for preventable adverse medical events, poor quality of life, and dependence on others. Fortunately, providers and people with communication disabilities can take steps to improve these interactions by personalizing and implementing communication supports to empower people with communication disabilities to actively participate in these interactions and improve outcomes. The purpose of this article is to describe strategies that health care providers can use to develop and implement personalized communication supports for children and adults with communication disorders during health care interactions. Additional strategies are provided to guide people with disabilities as well as their community/school providers and families to prepare for health care interactions. Case examples are provided to illustrate use of these strategies in acute care, inpatient rehabilitation, and outpatient settings. The use of emerging training tools (e.g., video visual scene displays) and augmentative or alternative communication partner training formats (e.g., just-in-time training) are also presented as future directions to expedite learning and implementation of communication supports in fast-paced and time-limited health care interactions.

BACKGROUND: Coffin-Siris syndrome is a rare genetic disease with heterozygous variants in the ARID1A, ARID1B, ARID2, DPF2, SMARCA4, SMARCB1, SMARCE1 or SOX11 genes. It may manifest with somatic anomalies, deafness, urogenital malformations, recurrent infections, mental retardation, speech deficit, agenesis of the corpus callosum, convulsions, hypotonia, developmental delay, and scoliosis. CASE REPORT: A 14-year-old boy with Coffin-Siris syndrome due to variants in the ARID1A gene was referred to the clinic. His rehabilitation over a 9-year period was described. The problem of assessment and the approach to rehabilitation was discussed, enabling a progressive remodelling of the cognitive-behavioural disorders that most hindered the possibility of his acquiring new skills and achieving social and family integration. CLINICAL REHABILITATION: A protracted, customised, multiprofessional rehabilitation approach, centred on realistic functional objectives, implemented with the direct involvement of the family and school, was the only way to achieve the maximum independence and social and family integration permitted by his residual disability.
