👉 The term "nonaugmentative" is a term used to describe an infant who does not receive any augmentative aids or communication devices. This refers to infants that are born without speech and do not have any means of communication through speech, such as the use of signs or gestures. Nonaugmentative infants may also have some degree of hearing impairment, but their ability to communicate with others is limited compared to those who receive augmentative aids.
