Spelling is a vital skill for people who rely on augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The ability to spell words provides an opportunity to create novel and spontaneous communication and increases educational, social, and employment opportunities for children and adults. However, many children and youth who rely on AAC struggle to gain functional spelling skills and written language. The purpose of this preliminary investigation was to develop a strategy to provide auditory letter-sounds using commercially available computer equipment and to evaluate how such a computerized "sounding out" strategy influences spelling accuracy for one child who required AAC support. The spelling accuracy of both consonants and vowels increased during intervention sessions when individual sounds associated with target words were provided compared to the baseline session when individual sounds were not provided. Future directions are discussed.

Abstract Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) facilitators and general interventionists support individuals who rely on AAC to meet their communication needs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of an instructional strategy for potential AAC facilitators to operate and maintain high technology AAC device software using Remote Access Error-Free (RA-EF) instruction. During the RA-EF condition, the researcher and participant were in two different locations. The results of this investigation revealed that, following fewer than 30 minutes of instruction focusing on 11 operational skills, a group of 10 participants who were unfamiliar with the Visual Scenes Display for Aphasia application (Version 2) achieved post-instruction accuracy scores of 98.2%.
