Many times we design
augmentative and alternative communication systems without considering the full
participation of the person with the disability. Student and adults must play
an active role in designing the system as well as the actual symbols. This
resource gives a great example of a student who designed her own yes and no
symbol. It makes the point quite well how important participation is. The
resource has a lot of good suggestions. Take a look: Participatory AAC. This is another resource to look at especially if you are interested in AAC research:
" The AAC-RERC is a Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center that
functions as a collaborative research group dedicated to the development
of effective AAC technology."
