Efectos de las intervenciones mediadas por los pares en la comunicación de los menores que usan Comunicación Aumentativa y Alternativa asistida: una revisión sistemática

Abstract

This systematic review aims to analyze the effects of peer-mediated interventions on the communication of children with Complex Communication Needs (CCN) using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), assess the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence, and reflect on the implications for practice. All studies published between 1980 and 2024 involving peers of children using AAC published in different databases were analyzed, and 37 papers (162 participants) were identified. All studies established benefits for some of the participants. The most frequent components of the interventions were peer-centered strategies and included both high-tech and low-tech AAC. The results help plan AAC instruction for children with NCC. However, more research is needed to help clarify both the efficacy and components of these interventions.
