Using AAC to progress Communication
Effective communication is an outcome rather than a process. The process of developing an AAC based communication system for someone requires attention to many elements including the following:
How will the person access the device?
What device will be best?
What vocabulary will they need?
What level of literacy skill do they currently have?
What level of literacy skills might they be able to develop?
It is advisable to have a range of AAC options available to a person rather than relying on just one so they might use simple signs, gestures, low tech boards, a low tech book, a single message button and a high tech device each with their own specific purpose.
