Barriers to Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) use include system accessibility, partner knowledge, therapy, and vocabulary. Addressing these is key for effective AAC implementation in individuals with cerebral palsy.

Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation research
  • Assistive technology
  • Communication sciences

Background:

  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems are crucial for individuals with communication impairments.
  • Despite their importance, the adoption and effective use of AAC systems face significant challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the factors hindering the utilization of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems.
  • To identify obstacles faced by adolescent and adult AAC users with cerebral palsy and their communication partners.

Main Methods:

  • A two-year research study involving 93 adolescent and adult AAC users with cerebral palsy.
  • Data collection through questionnaires, interviews, and field notes from users and 186 communication partners.

Main Results:

  • Key obstacles identified include limited availability and accessibility of AAC devices.
  • Lack of communication partner knowledge, insufficient therapy, and inadequate vocabulary also impede AAC use.
  • Availability of alternative communication methods presents another challenge.

Conclusions:

  • Effective AAC implementation requires addressing systemic and environmental barriers.
  • Improving AAC system accessibility, enhancing partner training, and optimizing therapy are crucial.
  • Tailoring vocabulary and considering multimodal communication are essential for successful AAC integration.
