Augmentative vs. Alternative  Augmentative often refers to the supplementation of, or addition to, natural speech to enhance communication (combining speech and gesture)  Alternative refers to the substitution of another form of communication for natural speech (using signs, symbols, objects, devices) (Lloyd and Soto, 1993; Beukelman and Mirenda, 1998)

Expressive vs. Receptive Language  Receptive- ability to understand language  Expressive- ability to formulate and produce language

Purpose of Communication  Choose, obtain or reject  Regulate social interactions or express emotion  Get attention  Receive and convey ideas or information 

Forms of Communication  Facial Expression- eye contact, smile, frown etc.  Body Movements- bringing you to an object or an object to you, pushing away an object, throwing, aggression  Vocalization- grunting, laughing, crying, yelling, any kind of verbal sound not recognized as formal language  Conventional Gestures- pointing, waving, nodding  Words- what we understand as language  Manual Signs- similar to sign language but may be unique to child or environment  Picture or Object Symbols- used for symbolic representation of an item or action

AAC Systems  Aided- requires tools or equipment; voice output devices, PEC exchange systems, paper and pencil  Unaided- requires only the users body; sign language, gestures and voice

Voice Output Devices  Many companies with similar products Dynavox Latest to market- iPhone, iTouch, iPad  Considerations Cost; device and repair, availability of grants Reliability, sturdiness, quality of output, battery Portability Ease of interaction

How does this quote apply in a school setting? “There is evidence to suggest that people do not always recognize the communicative content of behavior that does not take a conventional communicative form, and thus they do not behave in an interactive manner.”

What do you think?  Can students who can’t talk read?  What is multi-modal communication and why is it important?  Does using an automated device hinder vocalization?

Resources  -thorough overview and introduction of AAC’s, assessment strategies, risk factors, and service organizations.  –lesson plans, IEP goals/objectives, data forms.  –disorder definitions, advocacy, device overviews
