The issue can be found here: http://informahealthcare.com/toc/asl/15/1
The issue contains papers about people in Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Ghana, India, Malaysia, Togo, South Africa, UK, Uganda, US, and VietNam and addresses many issues about underserved populations (including migrants and Indigenous people). The final paper by McAllister et al. summarizes all of the response papers and recommends a way forward for working with people with communication disability throughout the world. I thank Karen Wylie (Ghana), Lindy McAllister (Australia), Bronwyn Davidson (Australia), and Julie Marshall (UK) for their vision for this special issue, and for their hard work in pulling it together.
