Abstract

Purpose: Parent engagement and involvement is essential for the successful implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems in the home. The purpose of the current study is to gain a deeper understanding of caregivers' experiences with AAC systems and their collaboration with school professionals during the implementation of AAC, which may have led to subsequent abandonment.

Method: This review intentionally included qualitative studies that employed semistructured interviews, focus groups, and ethnographic investigations that documented the experiences and perceptions of families implementing AAC at home. Electronic database search, ancestral search, and forward search procedures resulted in a total of 27 peer-reviewed studies portraying the voices of 319 caregivers.

Results: An inductive analysis was conducted to record recurring themes into codes. The codes were thematically synthesized into three main themes: (a) the family unit, (b) the service providers, and (c) the AAC system.

Conclusions: The results emphasized the need for participatory practices of family involvement in co-constructing a collaborative AAC service provision. Future research directions should implement this practice and explore the outcomes of this process to validate its efficacy.

对照护者使用辅助和替代性交流手段的经验及其与学校专业人员合作情况的全面考察。

目的：在家庭中成功实施辅助和替代性交流（AAC）系统离不开家长的参与。本研究旨在深入了解照顾者使用辅助和替代性交流系统的经验，以及他们在实施辅助和替代性交流系统过程中与学校专业人员的合作情况，这可能会导致后来的放弃：本综述有意纳入采用半结构式访谈、焦点小组和人种学调查的定性研究，这些研究记录了家庭在家中实施 AAC 的经验和看法。通过电子数据库搜索、祖先搜索和前向搜索等程序，共收集到 27 篇同行评议研究报告，反映了 319 名护理人员的心声：我们进行了归纳分析，将重复出现的主题记录成代码。这些代码被归纳为三大主题：(a) 家庭单元，(b) 服务提供者，(c) AAC 系统：研究结果强调了家庭参与共同构建协作式 AAC 服务的必要性。未来的研究方向应该是实施这种做法，并探索这一过程的结果，以验证其有效性。

The journal is an international outlet for clinical research and is designed to promote development and analysis of approaches concerning the delivery of services to the school-aged population. LSHSS seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work. Scope: The broad field of audiology and speech-language pathology as practiced in schools, including aural rehabilitation; augmentative and alternative communication; childhood apraxia of speech; classroom acoustics; cognitive impairment; craniofacial disorders; fluency disorders; hearing-assistive technology; language disorders; literacy disorders including reading, writing, and spelling; motor speech disorders; speech sound disorders; swallowing, dysphagia, and feeding disorders; voice disorders.
