Shawn N. Girtler; Emily K. Unholz-Bowden; Alefyah Shipchandler; Rebecca L. Kolb; Jennifer J. McComas – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2024
Although the last decade has welcomed evidence that individuals with Rett syndrome (RTT) can communicate using alternative and augmentative communication (AAC), less is known about effective procedures for teaching various component skills required for expressive communication of individuals with complex communication needs. The purpose of the…

Emily K. Unholz-Bowden; Shawn N. Girtler; Alefyah Shipchandler; Rebecca L. Kolb; Jennifer J. McComas – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2024
The vast majority of individuals with Rett syndrome do not utilize natural speech and therefore require alternative and augmentative communication (AAC). The purpose of the current study was to investigate the use of high- and low-tech AAC modalities by three individuals with Rett syndrome given similar instruction for using both modalities. For…

Carol Johnson; Walcir Cardoso – CALICO Journal, 2024
Writing involves more than attention to form (e.g., orthography, grammar), since it requires attention to text type, content, and genre. However, most students of English as a second language (L2) tend to prioritize linguistic accuracy in their writing, to the detriment of the content of their texts. Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has the…

Margaret Vento-Wilson – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2025
This tutorial offers speech-language pathologists (SLPs) an opportunity to consider the theoretical constructs of language acquisition theory and the multifactorial determinants that can impinge on the language acquisition process for children with complex communication needs. The system of constraints observed through the lens of optimality…

Andrew J. Wojcik; Alison King; Delanie Amend; Donna Gilles; Audrey Martin; Kristina Keithley; Chloe Weaver – Education and Training in Autism and Developmental Disabilities, 2024
The general education classroom is filled with academic vocabulary, and individuals with developmental disabilities benefit from explicit vocabulary instruction (Browder et al., 2008; Marzano, 2020; Smith et al., 2013). Picture-based alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) can encourage academic skills development (Ahlgrim-Dehzel et al.,…
