Objetivo: mapear la evidencia sobre el uso de la comunicación aumentativa y alternativa (CAA) en niños con parálisis cerebral (PC), analizando la efectividad de las intervenciones y las barreras para su implementación, así como proponer indicadores de calidad para el monitoreo de servicios de salud pública. Método: revisión de alcance realizada de acuerdo con el JBI y la extensión PRISMA, con búsquedas realizadas en octubre de 2025 en seis bases de datos. De los 714 registros identificados, se incluyeron 22 estudios. Resultados: la evidencia indica que la CAA es eficaz para ampliar las habilidades expresivas y promover la participación en niños con PC. Se propusieron 20 indicadores de calidad organizados en cuatro dimensiones: participación, acceso, capacitación y tecnología. Consideraciones finales: la CAA constituye un componente estratégico en las políticas públicas de salud. Los indicadores propuestos pueden apoyar a los gestores en el monitoreo de la equidad, la calidad y la toma de decisiones basada en evidencia.
