Augmentative and alternative communication

Good afternoon,
I have a question regarding Augmentative and alternative communication devices and how people using these tools interact with web content.
As I understand it, AAC used to interact with user interfaces rely programmatically on the same technology which allows for keyboard access. Thus, if keyboard access exists, then AAC should be able to work as well.
Is this assumption incorrect? If so, what am I not thinking about?
Thanks in advance!
Respectfully,
Michael
