    Explanation
    AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. It is a set of tools and strategies that support individuals with communication difficulties. The advantage of AAC is that it promotes speech and communication development. AAC methods such as visual supports, gestures, and electronic devices help individuals express themselves and communicate effectively.

    Explanation
    The correct answer is TV because AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication, which refers to devices and tools used to enhance or replace communication for individuals with communication difficulties.

    When applying AAC device, you need to graduate the level of promoting the individuals when they could not use the AAC device. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When applying an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device, it is important to gradually increase the level of support provided to individuals who are unable to use the device.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Using vague words such as "please" and "more" when teaching individuals with autism the AAC device is not recommended. Individuals with autism often struggle with understanding abstract concepts and may have difficulty interpreting vague language. It is important to use clear and specific language when teaching them how to use the AAC device to ensure effective communication.

  • 6. 

    The two types of AAC are __________

    Correct Answer
    aided and unaided
    Explanation
    AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication. It refers to a set of tools and strategies used to enhance or replace communication for individuals with communication difficulties. Aided AAC involves the use of external tools or devices such as communication boards, speech-generating devices, or computer-based systems. Unaided AAC, on the other hand, relies on the individual's own body movements, gestures, or sign language to communicate. Therefore, the two types of AAC are aided and unaided.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    The first step to implement AAC device is doing a post-assessment in order to measure individuals' baseline communication skills 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement is false because the first step to implement an AAC device is not doing a post-assessment, but rather conducting a pre-assessment. A pre-assessment is done to determine the individual's current communication skills and needs before implementing the AAC device. This helps to ensure that the device is tailored to the individual's specific requirements and abilities.
