Providing support to a child with complex communication needs during shared storybook reading activities can be challenging. Storybooks often contain specific vocabulary items (e.g., character names) that are key to conversations about the story but would be difficult to add and of limited long-term use in an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) system. It can also be challenging to support participation and communication at the same time (e.g., helping a child both turn the pages in a book and have access to an AAC system). Visual scene displays (VSDs) are an easy-to-implement strategy that can be used with most storybooks and in combination with other AAC systems. VSDs provide quick access to important vocabulary from the storybook, support sight word acquisition, and can be used to promote interactions with peers. The use of VSDs can help to ensure that all children, including those with complex communication needs, experience the enjoyment and benefits of shared storybook reading.
