Abstract
Despite significant challenges, there are a growing number of documented cases of employment success for individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). We review recent research on employment and AAC, and discuss the results within a framework that describes what is known about the worker, the workplace, technology, and society in achieving employment success for individuals who use AAC. Information on goals for future research and technology development is also provided.Keywords
