Abstract
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) systems offer critical support for individuals with non-verbal Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), facilitating communication and improving quality of life. This review explores various AAC modalities—including picture exchange systems, speech-generating devices, and sign language-and evaluates their effectiveness in enhancing social interaction and functional communication in non-verbal ASD populations. Barriers to AAC implementation, including access, training, and acceptance, are discussed alongside recommendations for clinicians, caregivers, and educators to optimize AAC use.
