The key to success with AAC devices and low tech strategies is
a thorough understanding of AAC "features".
Browse through
the information here and learn how the features of a device or strategy
can make it uniquely suited to an individual's needs.
Selection
Set Features
Here
we cover the various selection sets (e.g. symbol or letter displays) and
how they can make a communication method uniquely suited to a given individual.
Output
Features
This section will cover output options (e.g. voice output, visual displays)
and how some options are essential for a given individual's communication
needs.

The size and type of vocabulary vary tremendously among devices. These
features are often crucial in determining whether a method is appropriate
for a given individual.
Access
Features
The way in which a device or strategy can be accessed (e.g. keyboards
versus single switch access) greatly affects AAC decision-making.
Physical
Features
The
size and portability are just some of the characteristics of devices and
strategies that can make them appropriate or inappropriate for an individual
AAC user.
