Augmentative Communication


The next section of my blog is going to focus on assistive technology in the area of reading. Augmentative communication is something that is becoming extremely popular in schools today. Easily stated, augmentative communication is basically the assistance to individuals who cannot speak to interact with others. These systems are put into place to serve as an alternative to speech for those who are not able to speak. Augmentative communication is vital in all schools to assist these students who cannot speak. This system is used to show a student who cannot speak communication through other means of communication such as facial expressions and body language. This is so important to these students because it is the only way that they can communicate by themselves in the classroom.
