The results of this research add to the evidence
regarding the effectiveness of using AAC with people
with an ASD (Mirenda, 2001; Schlosser & Blischak,
2001), and adds to the knowledge of why AAC systems
are potentially beneficial for children with autism,
(The National Standards Report). Effective teaching
of motor plans, using the LAMP theory, can be seen
to allow for increased storage and retention of
symbolic information, resulting with more automatic
communication over time, and reducing the cognitive
demands associated with analysing and choosing
from different symbol sets, as described in the LAMP
Manuals (Halloran and Emerson, 2006: Halloran and
Halloran, 2012).
