Surveys were sent to families that had been identified from two key sources: the main AAC assessment center in Israel and principals of special education schools. Results were analyzed using descriptive statistics and are reported and analyzed along with AAC issues, concerns, and needs. Most of the respondents were parents of children who used AAC. Most of the families responding to the survey lived in cities, were highly educated, were born in Israel, and came from middle-to-upper class backgrounds. Most of the families reported being content with the array of AAC messages presented on the devices, although they also reported a large number of breakdowns in communication with the children who were using the devices. Most of the families indicated that the speech-language pathologist in their children's schools developed the AAC systems, and some of the families indicated that they participated in implementing AAC at home. Implications and future research are discussed. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: questionnaire/scale research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
