The purpose of this study was to find out the recent trend of researches in Korea by synthesizing finding of Augmentative and Alternative Communication(AAC), from 1994 when AAC research paper was first published in the journal to October, 2011, 131 papers published via journals and conferences were analyzed. Results of analysis are: first, the number of experimental research and that of literature research were similar, recently, much efforts are made to qualitative research and development research.; second, past research was focused on physical disability. While physical disability was covered mainly by experimental and literature research. Different from the past research which was centered to specific disorder, recent research includes autism spectrum disorder and intellectual disability. And the AAC interventional trial, single subject research was most commonly conducted for three elementary school students.; third, according to the analysis of 62 AAC experimental studies on dependent variables such as environment, symbol, aid, technique, and strategy, the most common environment was a special school, the symbol was PCS, the aids were the communication board, VOCA, and PECS. While direct selection was most commonly used as communication skill, as for communication facilitation strategy, direct teaching, modeling and waiting were evenly used. Most research on dependent variables was to verify how to improve communicative skills. This study is meaningful as it suggested directions for further study by analyzing AAC literature and recent research trends.
