Emily N. White; Sara K. Snyder; Rachel R. Cagliani; Kevin M. Ayres – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2025
The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (n.d.) suggests that acquisition and use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) is dynamic and that learning multiple modalities may be beneficial particularly for those individuals with severe disabilities. Evaluation of response variability after training multiple modalities has yet…
