The ISAAC 2016 Research Symposium included a Design Stream that examined timely issues across augmentative and alternative communication (AAC), framed in terms of designing interaction, designing voice, and designing inclusion. Each is a complex term with multiple meanings; together they represent challenging yet important frontiers of AAC research. The Design Stream was conceived by the four authors, researchers who have been exploring AAC and disability-related design throughout their careers, brought together by a shared conviction that designing for communication implies more than ensuring access to words and utterances. Each of these presenters came to AAC from a different background: interaction design, inclusive design, speech science, and social science. The resulting discussion among 24 symposium participants included controversies about the role of technology, tensions about independence and interdependence, and a provocation about taste. The paper concludes by proposing new directions for AAC research: (a) new interdisciplinary research could combine scientific and design research methods, as distant yet complementary as microanalysis and interaction design, (b) new research tools could seed accessible and engaging contextual research into voice within a social model of disability, and
ISAAC 2016 研究研讨会包括一个设计专题，该专题探讨了辅助和替代性沟通（AAC）领域的热门问题，其研究框架围绕互动设计、语音设计和包容性设计展开。这三个术语都很复杂，有多种含义；它们共同代表了 AAC 研究中具有挑战性但又很重要的前沿领域。设计专题由四位作者构想，他们都是在整个职业生涯中探索 AAC 和残疾相关设计的研究人员，他们因坚信为沟通而设计不仅仅意味着确保人们能够使用单词和话语而走到了一起。这四位演讲者都来自不同的背景：交互设计、包容性设计、语音科学和社会科学。24 位研讨会参与者之间的讨论包括对技术作用的争议、对独立性和相互依赖性的紧张关系，以及对品味的挑衅。本文最后提出了 AAC 研究的新方向：（a）新的跨学科研究可以结合科学和设计研究方法，尽管它们在微观分析和交互设计方面相距甚远，但却可以互补；（b）新的研究工具可以为在残疾的社会模式中研究语音提供可及且吸引人的情境研究种子。
