Up to 30% of autistic children experience significant verbal communication challenges, necessitating the use of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). While AAC tools support language development and social participation, access alone does not ensure successful outcomes. Aided language input and coaching interventions have demonstrated effectiveness in improving AAC adoption, yet communication partners often require systematic training. Additionally, sensory processing differences impact engagement with AAC tools, affecting attention, interaction, and language learning. This discussion paper explores a sensory-informed coaching model that integrates AAC strategies with sensory considerations. Through case vignettes, this paper highlights interdisciplinary coaching approaches that improve AAC use by addressing sensory sensitivities and enhancing engagement. Findings emphasize the importance of structured coaching programs for parents, educators, and peers to support AAC learning across environments. A sensory-informed approach to AAC implementation can optimize communication outcomes for autistic children, reinforcing the need for professional development and interdisciplinary collaboration in assistive technology.
