Creating a Path for Systematic Investigation of Children With Cortical Visual Impairment Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication

There are significant challenges to face when serving children with Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) 聽who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). One of the challenges is to find evidence-based research and intervention to guide practice. Boster, et.聽al., conducted a review designed to explore the available evidence on the topic and聽found that聽out of over 500 articles, only聽10 discussed AAC interventions that included children with CVI.聽Authors noted that none of the studies addressed how vision might have impacted the design of AAC systems and/or the nature of AAC interventions.聽Their findings are published in the聽June issue of聽American Journal of Speech and Language Pathology and can be downloaded from .
