AAC is used by those with a wide range of <a href="/wiki/Speech_and_language_impairment" title="Speech and language impairment">speech and language impairments</a>, including congenital impairments such as <a href="/wiki/Cerebral_palsy" title="Cerebral palsy">cerebral palsy</a>, <a href="/wiki/Intellectual_impairment" class="mw-redirect" title="Intellectual impairment">intellectual impairment</a> and <a href="/wiki/Autism" title="Autism">autism</a>, and acquired conditions such as <a href="/wiki/Amyotrophic_lateral_sclerosis" class="mw-redirect" title="Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis">amyotrophic lateral sclerosis</a> and <a href="/wiki/Parkinson%27s_disease" title="Parkinson's disease">Parkinson's disease</a>. AAC can be a permanent addition to a person's communication or a temporary aid. <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Hawking" title="Stephen Hawking">Stephen Hawking</a>, probably the best-known user of AAC, had amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and communicated through a <a href="/wiki/Speech-generating_device" title="Speech-generating device">speech-generating device</a>. </p><p>Modern use of AAC began in the 1950s with systems for those who had lost the ability to speak following surgical procedures. During the 1960s and 1970s, spurred by an increasing commitment in the West towards the <a href="/wiki/Inclusion_(disability_rights)" title="Inclusion (disability rights)">inclusion</a> of disabled individuals in mainstream society and emphasis on them developing the skills required for independence, the use of manual <a href="/wiki/Sign_language" title="Sign language">sign language</a> and then graphic symbol communication grew greatly. It was not until the 1980s that AAC began to emerge as a field in its own right. Rapid progress in technology, including microcomputers and <a href="/wiki/Speech_synthesis" title="Speech synthesis">speech synthesis</a>, paved the way for communication devices with speech output, and multiple options for access to communication for those with <a href="/wiki/Physical_disability" title="Physical disability">physical disabilities</a>. </p><p>AAC systems are diverse: unaided communication uses no equipment and includes signing and <a href="/wiki/Body_language" title="Body language">body language</a>, while aided approaches use external tools.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Aided communication methods can range from paper and pencil to communication books or boards to speech generating devices (SGDs) or devices producing written output. The elements of communication used in AAC include gestures, photographs, pictures, line drawings, letters and words, which can be used alone or in combination. Body parts, pointers, <a href="/wiki/Mouse_(computer)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mouse (computer)">adapted mice</a>, or <a href="/wiki/Eye_tracking" title="Eye tracking">eye tracking</a> can be used to select target symbols directly, and <a href="/wiki/Switch_access_scanning" title="Switch access scanning">switch access scanning</a> is often used for indirect selection. Message generation through AAC is generally much slower than spoken communication, and as a result rate enhancement techniques have been developed to reduce the number of selections required. These techniques include prediction, in which the user is offered guesses of the word/phrase being composed, and encoding, in which longer messages are retrieved using a prestored code. </p><p>The evaluation of a user's abilities and requirements for AAC will include the individual's motor, visual, cognitive, language and communication strengths and weaknesses. The evaluation requires the input of family members, particularly for early intervention. Respecting <a href="/wiki/Ethnicity" title="Ethnicity">ethnicity</a> and family beliefs are key to a <a href="/wiki/Family-centered_care" title="Family-centered care">family-centered</a> and ethnically competent approach. Studies show that AAC use does not impede the development of speech, and may result in a modest increase in speech production.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Users who have grown up with AAC report satisfying relationships and life activities; however, they may have poor literacy and are unlikely to be <a href="/wiki/Employed" class="mw-redirect" title="Employed">employed</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>While most AAC techniques controlled by the user are reliable, two techniques (<a href="/wiki/Facilitated_communication" title="Facilitated communication">facilitated communication</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Rapid_prompting_method" title="Rapid prompting method">rapid prompting method</a>) have arisen which falsely claim to allow people with intellectual disabilities to communicate.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> These techniques involve an assistant (called a facilitator) guiding a disabled person to type on a keyboard or point at a letter board.
