Augmentative and Alternative Communication – Like A Second Language

 

AAC communicative process is really complex:

1. User receives auditory information
2. User processes the linguistic message
3. User formulates or identifies an appropriate response
4. User translates and executes a response using AAC system

It is a similar process a bilingual speaker experiences:

1. He first thinks of responses in his primary language
2. Then he translates
3. Finally he implements the response using the second language
