| Summary: | The purpose of this work is to show howcome ACC (Augmentative and alternative communication) would be used in preschool with all the children and not just with the children who are in need of it. This study therefore has the task of comparing two different preschools, one municipal and one private, to get knowledge of educators perceptions and expectations of its work with ACC in verbal communication with the children. To conduct the survey, questionnaires were sent to the respondents. One group of informants was working at a municipal preschool, the other group is working at a Swedish church's preschool. The questionnaires were compiled to show any similarities or differences among the preschools and what these may be depended on. The results show that educators in the municipal preschool are familiar with the work of ACC and welcomes the method. The replies from the respondents in the Swedish church's preschool are however show a certain resignation because respondents say they want to use ACC but they don’t really manage to create time and opportunities. The study also shows that the work of ACC in preschool represents a solid support to all children's language development and vocabulary building, regardless of difficulties. Thus it can be concluded that ACC contributes to children are treated in an equal way in linguistic communication with adults.
