This unit describes the knowledge and skills required by the worker to communicate with people who have complex communication needs (CCN) through effective use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) strategies and systems
Augmentative and alternative refers to methods that replace or supplement speech to address the needs of people whose oral speech skills limit their ability to meet their participation and communication needs
Work performed requires a range of well developed skills where some discretion and judgement is required and individuals will take responsibility for their own outputs
Note that application of this unit may vary according to signs/language used in specific geographical areas or for participants working with specific CALD groups
