Abstract
A technique for facilitating oral communication with a person with speech impairment, based on time spent in communication regarding that person’s life story and his everyday activities, is placed within the framework of enabling an occupational community. The goal is to develop ongoing resources for instructing therapists, other health professionals and human service providers, whose communities of practice and agendas of which, are not necessarily congruent with those so engaged.
