Augmentative and Alternative

Communication (AAC)• Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): An area of

specialised clinical and educational practice that provides

communication options and interventions for people with complex

communication needs. The term augmentative in this context means

supplemental or additional to speech. Augmentative techniques (e.g.

gestures, and facial expressions) are commonly used when

communicating and interacting with others.

• The use of the term alternative acknowledges that there are some

individuals whose speech is sufficiently impaired that they must rely

completely on standard and special augmentative techniques, which

do not augment speech but are alternatives to speech

(Vanderheiden & Yoder, 1996).

AAC System

• AAC system: An integrated group of

components, including the symbols, aids,

strategies and techniques used by individuals to

enhance communication. The system serves to

supplement any gestural, spoken, and/or written

communication abilities

(American Speech and Hearing Association,

1991).

Unaided and Aided AAC

• Unaided AAC: All techniques that do not require any

physical aids (e.g. gesture, sign, facial expression).

• Aided AAC: Techniques where some type of physical

object or device is used (e.g. object symbols,

communication boards, books, wallets). Aided AAC is

often divided into high technology or low/light technology

systems.

(Speech Pathology Australia AAC Position Paper 2004)

Aided

• Low/Light/Easy Technology System: Low technology

communication systems include communication boards, books and

objects boards. These systems include devices accessed through

the use of switches (Sigafoos & Iacono, 1993), for example the

BIGmack, single message devices. They are commonly referred to

as "low tech" systems.

• High Technology System: High technology communication

systems utilise computers and specialised software. They may have

the capacity to provide printed output as well as voice output

(Sigafoos & Iacono, 1993). They are commonly referred to as "high

tech" systems.
