Abstract
This article provides a review of the empirical literature on a number of topics related to augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and assistive technology as they have been used to support communication and learning in individuals with autism/PDD-NOS. The review is presented in six main topic areas: Assessment, Staff/ Family Training, Supports for Augmented Input, Supports for Augmented Input + Output, Supports for Augmented Output, and Assistive Technology for Communication and Learning. Finally, recommendations for future research are provided.Keywords
