Abstract

PROBLEM: how the Guatemalan language therapist uses augmentative and alternative communication systems to stimulate language. OBJECTIVE: to determine the type of work carried out by the Guatemalan language therapist in relation to augmentative and alternative communication systems. METHOD: this is a quantitative cross-sectional study, in which 114 language therapists from Guatemala participated, who belong to the Association of Language Therapists in Guatemala. RESULTS: in the analysis carried out, it is observed that language therapists use communication systems as a tool to stimulate language in all diagnoses, giving greater relevance to diagnoses of language difficulties secondary to other diagnoses. CONCLUSION: it is concluded that the speech therapist uses different augmentative and alternative communication systems to stimulate language in the different diagnoses of language problems as a primary diagnosis and in any diagnosis of speech difficulty secondary to another diagnosis.
