What is social competency for AAC? - answer The social role of language

What is operational competency for AAC? - answer How to run or control
the system (e.g., turning things on/off, navigating different page sets)
What are strategy competencies for AAC? - answer Being able to figure out
how to adapt/repair communication breakdown, and how to use the
system strategically to get the message across as efficiently as possible.
, What is unaided AAC? - answer There is no external component to the
communication method.
What are some examples of unaided AAC? - answer - sign language.

tablets, boards, etc.
What types of access to a device are there? - answer - Direct: user selects
target by directly pointing to a symbol, picture, object with a body part or
adapted tool; physical and direct (e.g., finger, iPad with finger holes,
pointer attached to a helmet on patient's head)
- Quasi-direct: user selects target, either from touch or from a number of
choices; non-physical and direct (e.g., mouse, joystick, eye-tracking
selection).
- Indirect: user selects target from a set of choices, usually used when
physical impairments hinder them from direct access nonphysical and
indirect (e.g., linear, row/column, auditory scanning)
Compare symbolic vs. nonsymbolic communication. - answer Non-symbolic
communication refers to communication that does not use symbols such
as words or signs. This kind of communication, therefore, does not have a
shared meaning for others. It is limited to the here and now, responding to
the user's immediate environment. Nothing is abstract.
