What this paper is
This article describes a clinical service's experience overcoming institutional barriers to providing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) in acute care settings. It presents three case vignettes and reports on operational changes, such as scheduling adjustments and equipment management, but it does not report formal study methods, control groups, or statistical outcomes. There are no research findings to act on clinically.
