Toward an Augmentative and Alternative Communication Symbol Taxonomy: A Proposed Superordinate Classification.

Lloyd, Lyle L.; Fuller, Donald R.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication, v2 n4 p165-71 Nov 1986

The article reviews augmentative and alternative communication symbol classifications reported in the literature over the past decade. The "aided/unaided" dichotomy (based on user production of the symbol) is proposed as the superordinate level of classification, rather than the "static/dynamic" (based on transmission of characteristics of the symbol's signal).
