Abstract
Visual Scene Displays (VSDs) are a form of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) that utilize pictured scenes with hot spots to provide individuals with the opportunity to develop language in a contextualized environment. This investigation identified and assessed 12 peer-reviewed articles pertaining to the implementation of high- and low- tech VSDs for children and adolescents presenting with a range of complex communication needs. All articles were evaluated and scored using a published rating scale consisting of 11 predetermined criteria. Following assessment of the articles, it was found that VSDs are an effective form of AAC for children and adolescents with CCN, as VSDs facilitate language development and peer interactions.
