Prevalence of people who could benefit from augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in the UK: determining the need.

CONCLUSIONS & IMPLICATIONS: To provide accurate figures on the potential need for and use of AAC, data need to be consistently and accurately recorded and regularly reviewed at a community level. The existing data suggest an urgent need for more accurate and up to date information to be captured about the need for AAC in the UK to provide better services and ensure access to AAC strategies, equipment and support.
