While the augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) field has advanced in terms of theoretical underpinnings, research-supported strategies, technological improvements, and accessibility of appropriate clinical services, most people with AAC needs continue to experience considerable difficulty in the journey to become linguistically proficient. This paper explores some of the changes that have specifically impacted our understanding of language, language acquisition, and language intervention in individuals with significant communication challenges. Implications for AAC interventionists are reviewed, along with guidelines for moving toward better language outcomes.
