Abstract:

By combining context awareness and analytical based relevance computing software, the proposed Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) framework aims provide a foundation to create communication systems to dramatically increase the words available to AAC users. The framework will allow the lexicon available to the user to be dynamically updated by varying sources and to promote words based on contextual relevance. This level of customization enables the development of highly customizable AAC devices that evolve with use to become more personal while also broadening the expressiveness

Abstract:

This research is concerned with conversation—the most complex and vital way language can be used to connect with community. Language, as an empowering element of human, social and cultural agency, is used to organise thinking and to express thought. Language and communication are often considered as mutually inclusive but this is only half the story. Language has two representations: the linguistic, where units of meaning can be generated and shaped according to social conventions; and the non-linguistic, where bodily movements are used to augment or to be an alternative to linguistically form

Abstract:

Background: Intimacy has been described as a primary psychological need. In order to function ‚normally‛, we require repeated, positive interactions with those with whom we are in a caring relationship. To date, research looking at adults with acquired communication disorders who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) has focussed on device selection, providing functional communication, acceptance and use of AAC, and caregiver support. There is a lack of research into how the use of AAC impacts the personal and social lives of adults with acquired communication disorders. The aim

Abstract:

Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy (DCP) is mainly characterized by alterations in muscle tone and involuntary movements. Therefore, these people present with difficulties in coordination and movement control, which makes walking difficult and affects their posture when seated. Additionally, their cognitive performance varies between being completely normal and severe mental retardation. People with DCP were selected as the objective of this thesis due to their multiple and complex limitations (speech problems and motor control) and because their capabilities have a great margin for improvement thanks

Abstract:

Background: The current mandate in dementia research is to develop interventions that are evidence-based and person-centred. However, person-centred augmentative and alternative communication interventions in dementia are limited. Method: A multimethod research design was conducted in three Phases. Phase one reviewed current research evidence to inform the development of a person-centred intervention. Phase two developed a person-centred augmentative and alternative communication intervention package with four components, (a) elements of person-centred care; (b) an electronic conversational su

Abstract:

Children with developmental disabilities often have complex communication needs that require professional intervention. For children with limited or no functional speech, the first step in treatment programming is choosing an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) modality that best represents the needs of the child. The availability and diversity of AAC systems are only increasing (Loncke, 2014). Parents and practitioners are faced with a difficult decision and existing literature has yet to come to a consensus on the potential benefits or disadvantages of incorporating specific

Abstract:

With a large population of people who suffer from aphasia, it is imperative that an effective form of therapy is utilized. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) programs in improving the communication needs and lives of people affected by aphasia. Individuals (n = 20) suffering from aphasia for 3 months or more completed therapy sessions with speech and language pathologists and the AAC program. Pre- and post-intervention evaluations were administered, consisting of communication satisfaction and success questionnaire
