Abstract
To review current research on the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for prompting literacy in children with special educational needs. Research studies relevant to emergent literacy and AAC use are reviewed. Studies focused on acquisition of literacy across various populations of children with special needs are reviewed. Existing literature suggests that AAC may provide strategies and systems to compensate for impairments and disabilities of individuals with severe communication disorders. AAC may support literacy learning in children with special educational needs.
