Abstract
The manner in which disablement influences the sociocommunicative development of individuals using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems is receiving preliminary attention in clinical, educational, and family settings. This paper suggests an ecological framework from which to observe and evaluate the way in which society's attitudes toward disablement could influence the development of sociocommunicative skills in individuals using AAC. The role of remediators, and programming issues surrounding the communicative rehabilitation of persons with severe speech impairment are discussed, along with possible directions for future research concerning the sociocommunicative aspects of AAC.Keywords
