A survey was conducted to understand the service provisions for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in Hong Kong. The response rates of special pre-school training centers and special schools were 59% and 71%, respectively. The response rate of adult settings was 18%. Results indicated that a higher proportion of students identified as having complex communication needs had access to AAC service provision in schools for children with intellectual and physical disabilities than those in special pre-school training centres and other types of special schools. Generalization of AAC service beyond the classroom setting remains problematic. Seventy-two percent of the respondents were dissatisfied with the training in AAC that they received during their basic professional preparation. More advocacy work is needed to increase awareness and knowledge of AAC use in Hong Kong.
一项关于香港增强和替代沟通（AAC）服务提供情况的调查显示，特殊学前培训中心和特殊学校的回复率分别为 59%和 71%，成人环境的回复率为 18%。结果表明，在智障及肢体伤残儿童学校，有较多被鉴定为有复杂沟通需要的学生能获得 AAC 服务提供，而非特殊学前培训中心和其他类型的特殊学校。AAC 服务在课堂设置以外的推广仍然存在问题。72%的受访者对其在基本专业培训期间接受的 AAC 培训不满意。需要进行更多的宣传工作，以提高香港对 AAC 使用的认识和了解。
