Abstract

The purpose of this study was to compare AAC service delivery system between Korea and U.S.A for appling effective 'AAC service delivery system. This delivery system complement the missing part in system of the current method and narrow blind area for system. The result of this research, increase suppling item of assistive communication device in public benefit and provide delivery system through construct infrastructure by assistive technology center, special education support center, developmental disorder support center, speech therapy center in each local area. Furthermore, assistive technology-related institute and academy develope training programs for human resources to delivery AAC service.

본 논문에서는 국내의 효과적인 AAC 서비스 전달체계 수립방안 논의를 위해 미국과 한국의 AAC 서비스 전달체계 현황을 비교 분석하였다. 비교 분석을 통해 본문에서 제안한 'AAC 서비스 전달체계 모델'은 현재 정부나 각 기관에서 운영하고 있는 AAC 서비스 전달체계 관련 공적급여의 방식을 최대한 유지하면서 AAC 지원체계의 사각지대가 발생하지 않도록 현재의 방식에서 부족한 부분을 추가 보완하는 형태로 구성하였다. 제언 및 시사점으로는 현재 공적급여에서 제한적으로 지원하고 있는 AAC 보조기기 품목을 대폭 확대하고 전국에 설치되어 있는 보조기기센터, 특수교육 지원센터, 발달장애인 지원센터, 언어치료실 등을 활용한 인프라 구축을 통해 사각지대가 없는 보편적인 AAC 서비스의 제공이 필요하며. 관련 협회 및 학회 차원에서 AAC 서비스를 제공할 수 있는 전문가 연수 및 보수교육과 같은 인력 관리에도 많은 노력이 필요하다.
