AAC and Literacy: The Effects of Phonological Processing Intervention

摘要

Many children with severe congenital speech and physical impairments (SCSPI)who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) have documented low levels of reading achievement (Koppenhaver, Evans, & Yoder, 1991) superimposed on low levels of language development. Altogether, speech, language and reading disabilities can severely compromise AAC users' immediate needs and activities of daily living and academic achievements.
