• New guiding lights: everyday living skills, quality of life, and the size of your child's audience
• The first two skills to teach and the first issue to resolve, so everyday activities happen without problem behavior
• A simple four-colour procedure for selecting an Alternative Method of Speaking that is likely to last a lifetime
