Abstract

AbstractWhile implementing communication interventions, practitioners follow diverse theoretical models. Different conceptual orientations influence the way professionals embrace the subject of communication and its disorders. This research project explores the co-creation and validation of a new model and intervention program to analyze and improve communication between persons with Complex Communication Needs and their caregivers. The methodology incorporated a comprehensive narrative review, as foundation for the new model and intervention proposal. Succeeding this stage, the team implemented an online Delphi Panel to improve and validate these results, involving 17 international renowned experts. Following the Appropriateness Method, 25 indications were subject to scrutiny and rated as appropriate with minimal values of disagreement among the evaluators. Qualitative feedback was used to improve the research products. Quality assurance measures were taken to ensure quality and transparency of the results. A new conceptual framework of atypical interpersonal communication and intervention program result from the investigation. The new model is inspired by the Transactional model and principles of Dialogism. The intervention consists of consultations with caregivers, using video analysis and a dialogical methodology to enhance communication. The next research phase is to pilot-test the intervention program with clinicians supporting persons with disability at risk of social isolation.
