Abstract
The process for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) assessment is complex and requires participation and input from a variety of stakeholders. This paper addresses this challenge by exploring a framework for assessment through the Dynamic Assistive Technology Evaluation (Texas Assisitve Technology Network, 2013) which guides clinicians in identifying areas of concern, gathering and analyzing relevant assessment information related to those concerns, generating solutions, conducting trials and collecting data on effectiveness of AAC systems, and formulating and documenting results.
