Major goals of AAC interventions are to enhance an individual's daily communication skills (e.g., conversation, social contact, writing, computer access, etc.) and facilitate his or her development or return of speech and language skills. Independence, opportunities, social contact, and even making the simplest choice depend on communication. Severely challenged, speech-impaired children are now on our caseloads. Service delivery approaches continue to evolve. We should use those approaches that ensure children and youth their right to communicate.
辅助沟通干预的主要目标是提高个人的日常沟通技能（如对话、社交联系、写作、使用电脑等），并促进其言语和语言技能的发展或恢复。独立性、机会、社交联系，甚至做出最简单的选择都依赖于沟通。现在我们的服务对象中有严重残疾、言语受损的儿童。服务提供方式不断发展。我们应采用那些能确保儿童和青少年享有沟通权利的方式。
