Revisiting the Mosaic of Supports Required for Including People with Severe Intellectual or Developmental Disabilities in their Communities

Abstract The goal of this Forum article is to examine the progress that has been made over the past 20 years in providing opportunities for community living, inclusive schooling, and integrated employment to people with severe intellectual or developmental disabilities who rely on Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC). Recent research and statistical data from the United States and elsewhere are used to describe both the gains that have been made and the challenges that still remain. Directions for future advocacy and research efforts are also included.
