The authors conducted a systematic review of the literature including studies that used a single-case design (SCD) and taught augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) use to adults with complex communication needs. The purpose of this review was to describe (a) adults receiving AAC intervention, (b) components of the interventions used, and (c) how the literature met quality standards set by the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC). Across the 12 SCD studies included, a total of 28 adults with complex communication needs received intervention. As part of the intervention, the majority of the participants ( n = 24; 86%) were introduced to new AAC systems (e.g., picture, communication application). Ten of 12 studies showed at least moderate evidence of effectiveness. Only three of 12 studies met the WWC standards without reservation. Findings from this review call for action to ensure quality AAC access and services are available to adults with complex communication needs.

Autistic Spectrum Disorder - TEA is marked by a number of characteristics that influence the daily lives of citizens with the disorder. This change consists of difficulty in communicating with society, badly social interaction and restricted and repetitive behavior, of- ten not dealing with changes in routine. Due to these obstacles faced by autists, forms of intervention arise in order to social inclusion towards these people, such as alternative methods that help autistics communicate. The Picture Exchange Communication System - PECS is one of these assistive tools, based on picture communication, one simulates autism and others everyday foods and objects. However, this method has some issues, for example, some of them cannot associate an illustrative figure that represents an object in reality, causing the PECS to be unusable. From this, this project based on the development and implementation of the site “SeuPecs”, based on the above Communication System, with the creation of unique PECS for each autistic in order to contribute to the communication of who has the TEA.

Purpose Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems have been shown to increase requesting and protesting among minimally verbal children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, there is a lack of research on using AAC to address social communication in ASD. Additionally, most previous research on AAC involves expensive, difficult-to-access technology. Enhanced milieu teaching and joint attention, symbolic play, engagement, and regulation interventions have been combined to successfully improve social communication in ASD. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of introducing a low-technology, picture-based communication board using enhanced milieu teaching with joint attention, symbolic play, engagement, and regulation on social communication. Method An A-B-A-B single-subject design was implemented with a minimally verbal boy with ASD aged 3;4 (years;months). Three baseline sessions were followed by six intervention sessions and then repeated. Outcome measures included frequency of communicative acts, percentage of communication acts using AAC, and percentage of communication acts that were social. Visual analysis in combination with Tau-U effect sizes was used to evaluate the effects of intervention. Results Clear and immediate effects on frequency of communication (Tau-U = 0.97) and adoption of the AAC system (Tau-U = 1.00) were observed. The intervention did not clearly impact social communication (Tau-U = 0.17). Conclusions This study extends previous research indicating that AAC can quickly increase communication frequency to low-technology, accessible systems. The intervention dosage may have been insufficient to affect social communication, and further research should consider whether picture communication boards can positively influence social communication in young children with ASD.

Introdução. A comunicação é uma das bases das relações interpessoais e é fundamental para o desenvolvimento e expressão humana. Porém, existem hoje no Brasil, cerca de 9,7 milhões de deficientes que apresentam limitações em sua comunicação, oral ou escrita. “Comunicação Alternativa Ampliada” (CAA) é o termo empregado para designar tecnologias assistivas e procedimentos, que visam auxiliar indivíduos que apresentam distúrbios de comunicação. Objetivo. O objetivo deste artigo é fazer um levantamento bibliográfico dos principais sistemas utilizados na CAA, tendo como especial foco de análise de sua programação visual e os métodos aplicados ao seu desenvolvimento. Método. Para tanto realizamos levantamentos em artigos científicos que trazem experiências recentes e os resultados destas práticas junto ao público ao qual se destinam. Resultados. Podemos analisar os três sistemas de CAA: Blissymbolics (Bliss), Pictogram Ideogram Communication (PIC) e a Picture Communication Symbols (PCS), quanto à cromática e abstração das imagens desenvolvidas (icônicas e simbólicas) além de buscar subsídios para o desenvolvimento de similares.

The paper reports the initial findings of the first phase of the research and development project PICCORE – Picture Communication in Reception Centres. The goal was to map the use of pictures and other visual modes of communication at reception centres in Finland using an ethnographic, multimodal research approach. The ethnographic data was collected at four reception centres in Finland. A multimodal viewpoint draws attention to how action and meanings are mediated through pictures. The initial findings mark established practices for enabling and coordinating mutual attention, supporting the use of visual and embodied resources in interactions and – as a consequence – supporting mutual understanding.

Purpose Graphic symbols, such as the Picture Communication Symbols, Makaton and Widgit, have been traditionally used in the field of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in order to support people with little or no functional speech. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach However, given the fact that the terminology remains contested in the existing literature as well as the multidisciplinary nature surrounding graphic symbols, in more recent years and the number of terms used in different fields, it is vital that the terminology of graphic symbols is revisited again. Findings In the last section of the paper, a definition of graphic symbols is proposed. Originality/value The value of this paper lies in the fact that while field of graphic symbols have been used in the AAC for more than 30 years, there is still no consensus regarding the meaning of the terminology used.

O objetivo desse estudo foi descrever estratégias de mediação em atividades de conto e reconto de histórias para alunos surdos. Participaram da pesquisa dois alunos surdos e suas respectivas professoras, sendo uma da educação infantil e outra do ensino fundamental, de um município do interior de São Paulo. A pesquisadora conversou e planejou em conjunto aos professores os contos que seriam trabalhados. As histórias foram adaptadas por meio Picture Communication Symbols (Mayer-Johnson, 2004) e utilizados fantoches, dedoches, dramatização e apresentação dos sinais em Libras. Foram empregados registro contínuo e filmagens das atividades desenvolvidas em sala de aula. Os dados dos registros foram incorporados aos dados das filmagens, foi feita triangulação e análise de conteúdo. Foram identificadas as seguintes categorias e subcategorias de análise: 1- Participação dos alunos: alunos surdos, alunos ouvintes; 2- participação das professoras: professora de educação infantil, professora de ensino fundamental; 3- modalidade de comunicação dos alunos surdos: oral- auditiva, visoespacial, bimodalidade; 4- estratégias de comunicação da mediadora: língua oral, comunicação bimodal; 5- recursos apoiados nos sistemas gráficos: suplementares e alternativos de comunicação, demais recursos. As estratégias de mediações e os recursos adotados propiciaram maior interação e a participação tanto dos alunos ouvintes como surdos dentro das atividades programadas. No entanto considera-se importante o ensino de Língua de Sinais aos alunos com surdez e a inserção do intérprete de Libras no contexto da sala de aula.

RESUMO Poucos são os estudos fonoaudiológicos brasileiros sobre pacientes com o diagnóstico de doenças da cadeia respiratória mitocondrial. Esse quadro clínico é uma das doenças genéticas do metabolismo mais frequentes e apresenta sintomas que demandam intervenções fonoaudiológicas (alterações miofuncionais orais, auditivas e dificuldades na aquisição da linguagem oral). Neste estudo, articula-se a possibilidade de trabalho com esses sujeitos na abordagem da comunicação suplementar e alternativa. Objetivou-se descrever os resultados da utilização da comunicação suplementar e alternativa no atendimento de uma criança com doença mitocondrial. Os procedimentos terapêuticos enfatizaram o uso social da linguagem por meio de atividades significativas e contextualizadas, com o apoio de fotos e de figuras do Picture Communication Symbols de atividades cotidianas. Os resultados obtidos apontaram aumento na funcionalidade da linguagem oral do sujeito, ao favorecer suas práticas discursivas, especialmente quanto à intenção comunicativa no contexto interacional.
