Featured Article: Augmentative and alternative communication
An augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) device is used by an individual to enable him or her to communicate more effectively with others. A device assists an individual in communicating through printed words, speech or voice output, pictures, or any combination of these. AAC devices are designed to be used as either a primary method of communication or a supplementary mode of communication to augment existing communication strategies and can be configured or customized to address most communication needs.
