AAC and Autism: Case Studies in Developing Successful Communication
Universal Voices: The Right to be Heard, Move and Belong
Join us April 30, 2026 鈥� May 1, 2026
Approximately 25%-50% of all individuals with autism are likely to have a communication disorder that makes them functionally non verbal. Many of these individuals with autism could benefit from high tech AAC. There have been various strategies used with individuals with Autism with limited spoken language skills. Some of strategies recognize the role of AAC in supporting the communication needs of this population. The use of AAC can provide individuals with autism a way to engage socially, expand their educational opportunities, advance their receptive language skills and provide a tool for higher levels of self regulation and behavior management. This session will look at 3 students with Autism Spectrum Disorder who use AAC. Case studies of each student will be presented. Strategies used to build communicative competency and literacy skills using AAC systems will be discussed. Video vignettes will be used to illustrate successful communicative and literacy experiences.
