Abstract
From September to December 1989 Ipswich TAFE (an adult education facility near Brisbane, Queensland) hosted a Communication Course for five adults who each have a profound intellectual disability and physical disability (in the UK this is the equivalent of profound and multiple learning difficulties). None of the five students possess skills of intentional communication. The course is believed to be the first one of its kind in Australia and was of an experimental nature. The course content is described. The main aim of this presentation is to share information and to invite collaboration from others in similar areas of work.
