An evaluation was conducted of the approaches, costs, and quality-of-life outcomes associated with communication aid assessment programs for the speech-impaired provided by specialist Communication Aids Centres (CACs) in the United Kingdom. The average costs of CAC assessment programs was £410 per client, which is not excessive. There was evidence of moderate quality-of-life benefits from clients' use of the recommended aids.
