    Augmentative communication systems aid nonspeaking children, requiring skilled professionals. Effective use depends on choosing the right communication mode and symbol system, often needing interdisciplinary team evaluation and adjustments.

    Area of Science:

    • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
    • Pediatric Rehabilitation Technology

    Background:

    • Nonspeaking children benefit from emerging augmentative communication systems.
    • Effective implementation relies on multidisciplinary professional expertise.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine components of augmentative communication systems.
    • To discuss modes and symbol selection for nonspeaking children.
    • To highlight the importance of interdisciplinary evaluation.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of augmentative communication system components.
    • Analysis of manual, non-electronic, and electronic communication modes.
    • Examination of symbol selection hierarchies.
    • Clinical application and assessment of 28 multihandicapped children.

    Main Results:

    • The majority of children required modifications to their communication mode and symbol systems.
    • Interdisciplinary team evaluation is crucial for system selection and adaptation.
    • Both communication mode and symbol complexity influence system effectiveness.

    Conclusions:

    • Augmentative communication systems require careful, individualized selection and ongoing professional support.
    • A hierarchical approach to symbol selection is beneficial.
    • Multidisciplinary collaboration ensures optimal outcomes for nonspeaking children.
