Research priorities in augmentative and alternative communication as identified by people who use AAC and their facilitators.

Two focus groups comprised of adults who used AAC and two focus groups comprised of adult AAC facilitators in Ontario, Canada were asked to identify their own AAC research priorities and to state their levels of agreement with previously identified research priorities in AAC. Members of the focus group who used AAC had physical disabilities since birth except one participant who became disabled at age 2 years. Using focus group methodology and analysis, the participants were asked to generate their own AAC research priorities.
