CHAPTER 13 - Answers AUGMENTATIVE AND ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATION 1. D 2. A 3. B 4. D 5. B 6.

Why are unaided systems not appropriate for every individual who needs to enhance or replace their current communication method? Motor impairments make it difficult to use manual sign systems. Not all communication partners will understand manual sign systems.

7. A 8. True 9. A 10. C 11.

How can efficiency be enhanced for scanning techniques? By placing symbols so that those that are most frequently used are scanned most frequently or by using different scanning methods (linear scanning vs. row/column scanning, etc.).
