Abstract
Purpose Students with Cerebral/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) have unique challenges in processing visual information. The purpose of this study was to explore the current research trends in Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) approaches for students with CVI. Method The researchers conducted a scoping review utilizing a systematic protocol and identified 14 articles meeting the inclusion criteria. The studies were analyzed to examine the key trends and practices related to AAC system components, focusing on visual and sensory information processing. Results The findings highlighted critical considerations for designing AAC systems that accommodate the exceptional visual and sensory characteristics of students with CVI. Strategies for communication partners and educators were additionally identified to enhance interaction and support. Discussion & Conclusions This study confirmed that effective access to and utilization of AAC for students with CVI require not only AAC designs tailored to their specific visual characteristics but also communication support from partners in conversation.
