The following bibliography presents an array of potential sources of information and ideas about the communication intervention called augmentative and alternative communication or AAC. Some books or articles focus on individuals with autism spectrum disorder; others address issues relating to the general challenge of using a system of communication that is not based on the fluent use of oral speech. The list of materials is diverse since it is intended for professionals, university students, and family members. Many of the materials listed below can be obtained from the Center for Disability Information (CeDIR) at the Indiana Institute on Disability and Community. The staff will also be happy to assist patrons in locating any other materials.
