This article examines the growth of aided augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in providing support to children and youth with significant communication needs. Addressing current trends and offering a discussion of needs and probable future advances is framed around five guiding principles initially introduced by Williams, Krezman, and McNaughton. These include: (1) communication is a basic right and the use of AAC, especially at a young age, can help individuals realize their communicative potential; (2) AAC, like traditional communication, requires it to be fluid with the ability to adapt to different environments and needs; (3) AAC must be individualized and appropriate for each user; (4) AAC must support full participation in society across all ages and interests; and (5) individuals who use AAC have the right to be involved in all aspects of research, development, and intervention. In each of these areas current advances, needs, and future predictions are offered and discussed in terms of researchers' and practitioners' efforts to a continued upward trajectory of research and translational service delivery.
本文探讨了辅助增强和替代沟通（AAC）在为有严重沟通需求的儿童和青少年提供支持方面的发展情况。围绕威廉姆斯、克雷兹曼和麦克诺顿最初提出的五项指导原则，阐述当前趋势并讨论需求及未来可能的进展。这些原则包括：（1）沟通是一项基本权利，使用AAC，尤其是在幼年时使用，有助于个体发挥其沟通潜力；（2）AAC与传统沟通一样，需要具备灵活性，能够适应不同环境和需求；（3）AAC必须个性化且适合每个用户；（4）AAC必须支持所有年龄段和兴趣的人全面参与社会；（5）使用AAC的个体有权参与研究、开发和干预的各个方面。在这些领域中的每一个，都根据研究人员和从业者为使研究及转化服务提供持续上升轨迹所做的努力，介绍并讨论了当前进展、需求和未来预测。
