    Abstract:
    An evaluation was conducted of the approaches, costs, and quality-of-life outcomes associated with communication aid assessment programs for the speech-impaired provided by specialist Communication Aids Centres (CACs) in the United Kingdom. The average costs of CAC assessment programs was 410 pounds per client, which is not excessive. There was evidence of moderate quality-of-life benefits from clients' use of the recommended aids.
