“…Connor (in Hidayat, 2016) suggests that: there are at least seven aspects that need to be developed in every CP child, namely: (1) intellectual and academic development, (2) assisting physical development, (3) increasing emotional development and acceptance child's self, (4) maturing social aspects, (5) moral and spiritual maturity, (6) increasing self-expression, and (7) preparing the child's future. Communication needs factors due to poor oral-motor function can be improved using augmentative communication devices in children with adequate cognition (Dabney et al, 2020). Children with cerebral palsy must learn to express themselves, share experiences with others, and express their desires.…”

Based on the observation results, children with cerebral palsy were the subjects of the study. They communicate using gestures such as pointing accompanied by meaningless vocalizations. Only some people can immediately understand what the child intends. When they need something, the child will cry and scream. Based on these obstacles, the children need media as an alternative and augmentative communication system that can support them in communicating with their modalities and needs, one of which is using symbolic pictures and voice output. This research aims to design an alternative and augmentative communication program based on the children's assessment results. This research uses a qualitative approach with data collection techniques such as interviews, observations, and documentation. The study results in a program design expected to be implemented as a comprehensive tool to assist children in communication.
