Abstract
The project will explore communication methods for individuals with complex communication needs (CCN) in adaptive skiing, focusing on alternative communication methods and the development of a Picture Exchange Communication System. A communication training program for ski instructors will be implemented. Findings will advance occupational therapy by highlighting the role of self-directed communication and autonomy in promoting occupational engagement for individuals with CCN.
