Beneath the Surface: Creative Expressions of Augmented Communicators, an ISAAC Series Book, is bursting with a surprisingly diverse range of creativity. The creative works of 51 authors and artists from around the world cogently express their ideas and feelings within their paintings, drawings, poetry, stories, plays and essays-many in full-color. The contributors come from 12 countries. "This book is proof," say co-editor Michael B. Williams, himself someone who relies on AAC, "that we are not merely breathing blobs of flesh, but truly human beings who are capable of feelings and creative thought."

"People who rely on AAC can read it with pride; professionals who work with them must read it for perspective."

Edited by Michael B. Williams and Carole J. Krezman
