This addresses a significant societal need by enabling these individuals to communicate effectively[1][3][5].

This promotes positive change by supporting the integration of these individuals into various aspects of society[1][3].
- **Contributes to Community Well-being**: The ability to communicate effectively enhances interpersonal relationships, increases productivity, and supports the mental and emotional well-being of both the individuals using AAC devices and their families and caregivers[1].
