Abstract	Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems provide individuals unable to communicate effectively with speech a method of communicating. The choice and use of an AAC system is a complex and challenging process. It is best accomplished within a collaborative team model involving family members, child care providers and teachers, therapists, and other people who interact with the child on a regular basis. A young child's ability to communicate with family and friends in everyday environments and activities fosters learning, socialization, and overall development. Appropriate AAC systems can increase children's independence as well as support their inclusion in activities with other children and with family members. This article presents the common AAC terminology, how to develop an AAC system, how AAC systems can be used at home and in early education settings, and where to obtain AAC system resources. (ERIC).
