In this issue of Perspectives on Augmentative and Alternative Communication we address the new AAC systems being developed for persons with complex communication needs (CCN). We also describe and compare new interfaces and vocabulary choices, the roles of technology in AAC intervention, and the learning styles of the various adults who provide support to the AAC user.
