Abstract To be successful, students who use AAC and attend general education classes require extensive supports and frequent practice with their communication systems. In this article, I explore the challenges faced by educational teams and discuss strategies for helping general education teachers, paraprofessionals, and others provide the AAC learning and practice opportunities these students need to maximize their communication skills and academic achievement.

Abstract Students who use AAC to access vocabulary and language typically receive much of their language intervention in a classroom environment. Given this, it is important to teach emerging vocabulary and language concepts as well as academic content when delivering curriculum to students who use AAC. In this article, we will focus on identifying the language level of the student, providing him or her with a linguistically based AAC system, and delivering language intervention within the context of standards-based science and math curriculum. In addition, we will show how a standards-based science and math curriculum can serve as an excellent platform for language instruction. We will also discuss and demonstrate backwards planning as a method to create authentic and meaningful lessons for students who use AAC. The sample lessons will include a national standard, that standard reframed into an appropriate language target, assessment tools, strategies for teaching and learning, and an instructional activ...

Abstract In this qualitative case study, we investigated the perspectives of users of high tech augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems regarding their AAC systems, suggestions for others, and their successes and barriers. The five participants in this study had cerebral palsy and were at the postsecondary education level or the employment status. We found 5 main themes during the investigation: (a) day-to-day challenges; (b) experiences with AAC; (c) perceptions of preferable features and future AAC; (d) suggestions to others, including communication partners, professionals in the AAC field, and/or potential AAC users; and (e) adopted strategies. We will interpret these findings from three perspectives: (a) the participants' perspectives on AAC; (b) their perspectives on other people; and (c) their personal insights on themselves. Overall, participants indicated that AAC systems were indispensable in their daily lives, school settings, and work environments. However, all of the participa...
