      ab: This article provides a summary of different strategies used to support the complex communication needs of high school students with severe intellectual disabilities and additional impairments who are included in general education classrooms. The premise of this paper is that students with severe cognitive disabilities benefit from inclusive educational opportunities at the high school level and can acquire critical communication skills, given the necessary support. High school students typically communicate for a variety of purposes and use a variety of different modes of communication. This variety in purpose and mode extends to students who do not use speech and have other severe disabilities. The role that peers can play in the development of communication for high school students is described, as well as the need to critically evaluate the learning environment in order to identify communication opportunities.
