Abstract
This research forum pertains to the topic of subject selection in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) research. The following two papers present opposing views on the use of nondisabled persons in AAC research. Specifically, Higginbotham (1995) offers an argument in favor of the use of nondisabled persons as subjects, while Bedrosian (1995) addresses current limitations in using these individuals for AAC research purposes. Neither paper represents the sole research belief of the author involved. Rather, the intent in writing these papers was to highlight critical issues related to this topic in order to generate discussion among the readership of AAC. In the concluding paper, Higginbotham and Bedrosian (1995) bring together the issues previously discussed and present directions in subject selection for future AAC research.
