Resumo
Tema: a Comunicação Suplementar e/ou Alternativa (CSA) é uma área do conhecimento da prática clínica, educacional e de pesquisa que favorece a qualidade de vida de seus usuários e familiares.
Objetivo: propor diretrizes de intervenção e pesquisa na área de CSA a partir da identificação e síntese descritiva de artigos publicados em periódicos indexados em bases de dados eletrônicas internacionais, quanto à temática comunicação suplementar e/ou alternativa, abrangendo pesquisas experimentais, relatos de atendimento individual e/ou em grupo, estudos de casos que incluíssem sujeitos com paralisia cerebral ou com problemas neurológicos não definidos e/ou com retardo mental.
Conclusão: A individualização das práticas quanto ao design, relevância e velocidade do processamento da informação e o processo de inclusão da família e demais parceiros conversacionais são fundamentais ao sucesso na intervenção, generalização e manutenção de uso da prancha de comunicação suplementar e/ou alternativa em contextos formais e informais. A prescrição individualizada dos recursos da área de CSA conforme características físicas, mentais, psíquicas, cognitivas e linguísticas do usuário tem impacto positivo na sua qualidade de vida e na de seus familiares. Portanto, recomenda-se a introdução o mais breve possível dos recursos terapêuticos da área da comunicação suplementar e/ou alternativa para sujeitos com oralidade restrita e/ou ausente.

Abstract
Background: Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) is a knowledge area of clinical, educational and research practice that favors the quality of life of its users and their relatives.
Purpose: to propose intervention and research guidelines in AAC based on the identification and descriptive synthesis of articles published in indexed journals, in international electronic databases on AAC. Inclusion criteria were experimental research, reports of individual and/or group treatment, case studies, including subjects with cerebral palsy or with non-defined neurological diseases and mental retardation.
Conclusion: individualization of the practices as for the design, relevance and speed of information processing and the process of including the family and other conversational partners are essential to a successful intervention, generalization and maintenance of AAC communication board within formal and informal contexts. Individual prescription of AAC resources according to physical, mental, psychic, cognitive and linguistic characteristics have a positive impact on the quality of life of users and their relatives. Therefore, it is recommended that AAC therapeutic resources are introduced as soon as possible for subjects with restricted and/or absent orality.
