Abstract
The field of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) has emerged as a rapidly developing area. This paper highlights a number of critical professional and research issues which were the subject of discussion at a recent meeting of several members of the AAC community. Issues related to public policy, documentation, and direct service provision are addressed in terms of the transitions experienced by the field and directions for future development.
