Augmentative Communication Devices at Home and in the Community

As I talked about in my previous post, students who are unable to speak often use augmentative communication devices to communicate. Student receive direct instruction and guidance in developing augmentative communication skills in school, but they must practice and use the system at home and within the community. Having a relationship between school and home is important in the success of the augmentative communication.
