Abstract

Introduction: Communication is a necessary condition for the existence of man, it is the most important factor in his social development. Augmentative or alternative communication is the field that addresses the needs of people whose communicative function is compromised if it depends solely on speech.

Objective: Describe augmentative and alternative communication systems.

Methods: A search was carried out in the PubMed, LILACS, SciELO and Google Scholar databases between December 2021 and February 2023.

Conclusions: Alternative and augmentative communication systems are highly useful in the habilitation and rehabilitation of patients with communication disorders. They do not replace oral language, but they do constitute an alternative to improve the communication skills of those who require it.
