and needs (current and future) are matched to available tools and strategies”Shane, H., & Costello, J. (1994, November). Augmentative communication assessment and the featur ematching process. Mini-seminar presented at the annual convention of the American Speech-Language-AssociationHearing Association, New Orleans, LA.AAC systems can be no tech, low tech or high tech
