PURPOSE Parent engagement and involvement is essential for the successful implementation of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems in the home. The purpose of the current study is to gain a deeper understanding of caregivers' experiences with AAC systems and their collaboration with school professionals during the implementation of AAC, which may have led to subsequent abandonment. METHOD This review intentionally included qualitative studies that employed semistructured interviews, focus groups, and ethnographic investigations that documented the experiences and perceptions of families implementing AAC at home. Electronic database search, ancestral search, and forward search procedures resulted in a total of 27 peer-reviewed studies portraying the voices of 319 caregivers. RESULTS An inductive analysis was conducted to record recurring themes into codes. The codes were thematically synthesized into three main themes: (a) the family unit, (b) the service providers, and (c) the AAC system. CONCLUSIONS The results emphasized the need for participatory practices of family involvement in co-constructing a collaborative AAC service provision. Future research directions should implement this practice and explore the outcomes of this process to validate its efficacy.

目的 家长的参与对于在家中成功实施增强和替代通信 (AAC) 系统至关重要。当前研究的目的是更深入地了解看护者使用 AAC 系统的经验以及他们在 AAC 实施过程中与学校专业人员的合作，这可能导致随后的放弃。方法 本综述有意纳入定性研究，采用半结构化访谈、焦点小组和人种学调查，记录在家中实施 AAC 的家庭的经验和看法。通过电子数据库搜索、祖先搜索和正向搜索程序，总共产生了 27 项同行评审研究，描绘了 319 名护理人员的声音。结果进行归纳分析，将重复出现的主题记录到代码中。这些守则按主题综合为三个主题：(a) 家庭单位、(b) 服务提供商和 (c) AAC 系统。结论 结果强调了家庭参与共同构建协作 AAC 服务提供的参与性实践的必要性。未来的研究方向应该实施这一实践并探索这一过程的结果以验证其功效。
