The specific aims of the current study were to (a) describe vocabulary composition across different levels of expressive vocabulary and (b) analyze the relationship between global measures of expressive vocabulary and the use of grammar in individuals who use aided AAC. A series of multiple linear mixed effect regression analyses showed a positive predictive association between overall vocabulary size and the use of closed-class words, and a positive relationship between the use of verbs and the use of closed-class words. Additionally, the use of verbs had a significant positive association with the use of inflectional morphology, while the use of nouns did not.

Whereas some of these themes echoed the experiences of parents of children with complex communication needs (such as those with cerebral palsy) who were not specifically diagnosed with CVI, other themes were unique to this set of parents including the uncertainty of AAC design and intervention given the challenges of CVI and the necessity of more than one way for children to communicate given their visual challenges.

This study describes the use and perceived benefit of AAC and explores factors associated with receiving AAC interventions. Using a cross-sectional design, we combined parent-reported data with data from the Norwegian Quality and Surveillance Registry for Cerebral Palsy (NorCP). Communication, speech and hand function was classified according to the Communication Function Classification System (CFCS), Viking Speech Scale (VSS), and Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), accordingly. The need for AAC was defined as Levels III-V on the CFCS, without simultaneous classification at VSS Level I, and/or Levels III-IV on VSS. Parents reported on child- and family-directed AAC interventions using the Habilitation Services Questionnaire. Of the 95 children (42 females) with CP (M = 39.4 months, SD = 10.3), 14 had communication aids. Of the 35 children (31.4%) defined as needing AAC, 11 had been provided with communication aids. Parents of children with a communication aid reported satisfaction with and frequent use of the aid. Children at MACS Level III-V (OR = 3.4, p = .02) or with epilepsy (OR = 8.9, p < .01) were most likely to have received an AAC intervention.

Findings show satisfactorily reliability, construct validity and content validity. The interviews revealed a need for specification of key concepts, that there are challenges involved in being parents of a child needing AAC, and that completing questionnaires was perceived as stressful by many parents.

Although AAC is considered an evidenced-based intervention, device abandonment remains common, and researchers have attempted to analyze the causes of people abandoning devices. These devices have been prescribed following extensive assessment and often a protracted period of negotiation with a funding body. In this paper, we present the process of AAC prescription using a new model called the Communication Capability Approach by adding the Capability Approach from Amartya Sen to the widely used Participation Model. This allows clinicians to see individual daily decision-making as a valid choice of the individual. We propose reframing the concept of device abandonment as the person and their family making a choice to use a full range of multimodal communication to meet their own needs. This changes the tone of the narrative to viewing the person using AAC as competent and able to exercise self-determination and agency in this decision rather than as abandoning the device. AAC choices can be made on a day-to-day basis, according to the context of use so that people do not abandon devices but rather use whichever mode of communication is appropriate to the context.","PeriodicalId":49234,"journal":{"name":"Augmentative and Alternative Communication","volume":"39 3","pages":"198-206"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9940238","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
