Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze scaffolding strategies in shared storybook reading with students who have cerebral palsy and use Augmentative and Alternative Communication Systems (AACS). Based on the sociocultural theory of learning, the study emphasizes the importance of scaffolding in cognitive development. The background highlights the relevance of co-constructive narrative strategies for children with disabilities who use AACS. The research, conducted at a specialized education center in Uruguay, revealed the application of various scaffolding strategies, such as open-ended questions and written references, primarily aimed at low levels of semantic complexity. The findings support the premise that shared storybook reading can be an effective resource for promoting language development and literacy in these children. Additionally, the importance of scaffolding strategies to guide children's participation and assist them in understanding more complex concepts is emphasized. The research suggests that the use of AAC can enhance communication and active participation in shared storybook reading, with potentially positive effects on overall cognitive development.
