The AAC system we choose for our communicators should support their communication autonomy. For this to happen, it should support SNUG, which is Spontaneous Novel Utterance Generation. This allows the communicator to say whatever they want to, whenever they want to.

Communicative Purposes

AAC systems should support all communicative functions.

It should have customised vocabulary that enables communicators to tell a joke, share information, and for all other purposes of communication.

Each communicator has their own unique interests and challenges. The AAC system should allow the communicators to show off their personalities.
