The purpose of this study was to investigate fourteen African American mothers' perceptions of the utilization of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) by their children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The authors used ethnographic methodologies to describe and interpret their experiences and perceptions. Findings suggest that AAC strategies were perceived as useful to meet their children's social communication needs and were beneficial in developing social communication skills.
