Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have
difficulty with communication. Even those with high functioning ASD may have
difficulty getting their message across or sustaining conversation. Others with
ASD have trouble developing speech and might not ever fully develop spoken
language.
Therefore, many individuals with ASD will need alternative means in
order to communicate. This Q&A will provide an introduction to Augmentative
and Alternative Communication (AAC) for individuals with ASD.
