MOGUL AAC : The unique way to support complex communication needs for children in Autism Spectrum

The use of AAC (Argumentative Alternative Communication) is somewhat universal for children in autism spectrum for the daily use at school and home in United States. In United States, there are many applications of AAC with different systematic approaches, while representing AAC language has been studied to find out the effectiveness of different visual language of AAC in early intervention with children with communication needs. Recently, study of Worah, McNaughton, Light & Benedek-Wood (2015) shows that “most current symbol sets have been found to be difficult for very young children to learn and use” (Light & Drager, 2002, 2007), because children use vocabularies strongly with their personal understanding of a concept and will differ from that of an adult (Light, Drager, Curran, Hayes, Kristiansen, Lewis, et al., 2005; Light & Drager, 2007). In response to such findings about current AAC visual language system in general, MOGUL AAC has been developed with careful consideration of personal choice for language selection for development. MOGUL AAC has its unique approach: the hyper-customization system, which allows children to have their own personal visual language system for their communicational needs.
