For the past 30 years, the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) journal has both documented and instigated change in the field of AAC. We reviewed the papers published in the AAC journal from 1985-2014 in order to identify trends in research and publication activities. Intervention research made up the largest proportion of the four types of research (i.e., intervention, descriptive, experimental, and instrument and measurement development) reported in the journal. Intervention research has most commonly focused on the individual with complex communication needs, and most frequently on younger individuals (aged 17 and younger) with developmental disabilities. While much has been learned in the past 30 years, there continues to be a need for high quality research in a large number of areas. There is a special need for reports of interventions with older individuals with complex communication needs as a result of acquired disabilities, and for information on effective interventions for the communication partners of persons with complex communication needs.
在过去30年里，《辅助与替代沟通》（AAC）期刊既记录了辅助与替代沟通领域的变化，也推动了该领域的变革。我们回顾了1985年至2014年发表在《AAC》期刊上的论文，以确定研究和出版活动的趋势。干预研究在该期刊报道的四种研究类型（即干预、描述性、实验性以及仪器和测量开发）中占比最大。干预研究最常关注有复杂沟通需求的个体，且最常关注患有发育障碍的较年轻个体（17岁及以下）。虽然在过去30年里我们已经学到了很多，但在大量领域仍需要高质量的研究。特别需要有关针对因后天残疾而有复杂沟通需求的老年个体的干预报告，以及有关针对有复杂沟通需求者的沟通伙伴的有效干预措施的信息。
