SCHIRMER, Carolina Rizzotto. RESEARCH ON HIGH TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES FOR COMMUNICATION AND AUTISM SPECTRUM DISORDER. ETD - Educ. Temat. Digit. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.68-85.  Epub 26-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v22i1.8655470.

About one-third of individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) can not develop orality. The benefits of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) for individuals with ASD are well recognized and can be used to extend limited speech or act as the primary (ie alternative) communication method. Speech generation devices refer to a variety of high-tech solutions, including dedicated electronic communication devices (communicators / vocalizers), speech synthesizers and multifunctional mobile devices (eg iPad, iPod, and tablets with Android system) loaded with AC applications, and are a viable option for individuals with autism. The objective of this article is to verify the studies that investigate high technology for communication and ASD, published in the Augmentative and Alternative Communication Journal, which is the official journal of the International Society of Increasing and Alternative Communication (ISAAC), from 2011 to 2018. This is a new area of knowledge that is rapidly growing and with few studies in Brazil. The results of the 15 articles analyzed indicate that people with ASD benefit from the use of high technology. Future research on the creation of communication resources, intervention with users and description of verbal repertoires is recommended.
