WHAT IS
COMMUNICATION AIDS?
DEFINITION

A communication aid helps an individual to communicate more effectively


with people around them. Utilizing communication aids can help people
whose severe speech and/or language disability affects their ability to
effectively communicate.
AAC
Augmentative and Alternative Communication
AAC refers to Augmentative and Alternative
Communication, which is defined as a huge
range of techniques which support or replace
spoken communication. This includes gestures,
signing, symbols, word boards, communication
boards and books, as well as Voice Output
Communication Aids (VOCAs).
TWO MAIN TYPES OF AAC SYSTEM
UNAIDED COMMUNICATION AND AIDED COMMUNICATION.

Unaided Communication - does not use additional equipment. Body language,


gesture, vocalization, signing, are typically used.

Aided Communication - uses equipment, but this ranges from low-tech to high-tech
methods, with pictures and symbols of a news instead of, or together with words and
with alternative hardware options available to provide access. Whilst a low-tech
method of communication like a simple, laminated communication book to carry
around with a few pages of pictures or symbols would be a communication aid, the
term 'device' would only describe a more high-tech solution. An electronic
communication aid can be a dedicated device built for that job, which does nothing
else, or it can be a standard computer running specialist communication aid software
as well - this includes Apple tablets which are increasingly being used to help people
communicate.
UNAIDED
COMMUNICATION

Meaning of Unaided Communication


Communication is the exchange of information between a
sender and a receiver.

It is used to be that you only had to worry about the way you
communicate face-to-face or on paper.

Technology has changed this


completely.
It is important for people to take into account every aspect of
how they are relaying information.

This is where recommendation strategies come


into play
