Area of Science:

  • Speech and Language Therapy
  • Communication Sciences

Background:

  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) developed from the need for individuals with inadequate oral communication skills, despite traditional speech therapy.
  • The field's evolution was influenced by shifts in language development research, sign language, graphic symbols, computer technology, and international collaboration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the historical development and current status of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).
  • To highlight the multidisciplinary nature of AAC and its clinical applications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of historical trends and contributing factors to AAC.
  • Synthesis of clinical experience regarding the efficacy of AAC.

Main Results:
