Cyprus: from AAC to Literacy and Digital Literacy

This fact sheet presents the experience of a young augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) user, Gregory, in developing literacy and digital literacy skills through the use of his AAC system. Notwithstanding the various policy, practical and other barriers, his need for further communication and increase of independence was finally acknowledged. Hence, through a long but successful process of assessment, education and family support, he developed very good ICT-AT skills, that enabled him not only to effectively communicate but also to access information, learning and competence.
