London continued to be the centre for literary publications ranging from cheap ephemera broadsides and ballads to works offering self-improvement, such as dictionaries, and new fiction, called novels, for entertainment. The ongoing wars with the Dutch resulted in satires and lampoons on the government and the court. Parliament was increasingly concerned with the royal succession and manuscript newsbooks carried information and gossip from London and the continent into the provinces, including the Indian wars in New England. The taste in theatre favoured witty contemporary comedies by William Wycherley, John Dryden, and Aphra Behn and sensational tragedies by new dramatists including Thomas Otway and Nathaniel Lee. Productions often featured spectacular scenery, music, and special effects. Didactic writers such as Richard Baxter and Samuel Clarke offered guidance for humble readers in everyday devotional situations.

Abstract Using the iPad tablet for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) purposes can facilitate many communicative needs, is cost-effective, and is socially acceptable. Many individuals with communication difficulties can use iPad applications (apps) to augment communication, provide an alternative form of communication, or target receptive and expressive language goals. In this paper, we will review a collection of iPad apps that can be used to address a variety of receptive and expressive communication needs. Based on recommendations from Gosnell, Costello, and Shane (2011), we describe the features of 21 apps that can serve as a reference guide for speech-language pathologists. We systematically identified 21 apps that use symbols only, symbols and text-to-speech, and text-to-speech only. We provide descriptions of the purpose of each app, along with the following feature descriptions: speech settings, representation, display, feedback features, rate enhancement, access, motor competencies, and cost. In this review, we describe these apps and how individuals with complex communication needs can use them for a variety of communication purposes and to target a variety of treatment goals. We present information in a user-friendly table format that clinicians can use as a reference guide.
