Patel, Rupal; Schooley, Katherine; Radhakrishnan, Rajiv – Assistive Technology Outcomes and Benefits, 2006
Two prototype voice output communication aids were implemented to compare methods of graphic symbol message formulation; one emulated current devices that require syntactical ordering of icons (Default) and the other used semantic frames (iconCHAT). Message constructions of eight typically developing children (7-10 years of age) using both…

Isakson, Carole L.; Burghstahler, Sheryl; Arnold, Anthony – Assistive Technology Outcomes and Benefits, 2006
It has been well documented that individuals with significant physical disabilities who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) face considerable challenges in finding and maintaining employment. This article documents the experiences of one individual, Anthony Arnold, a young man who uses a Pathfinder[TM] for communication and a…

Patel, Rupal; Pilato, Sam; Roy, Deb – Assistive Technology Outcomes and Benefits, 2004
This article presents a novel AAC communication aid based on semantic rather than syntactic schema, leading to more natural message construction. Users interact with a two-dimensional spatially organized image schema, which depicts the semantic structure and contents of the message. An overview of the interface design is presented followed by…

Murphy, Patricia M. – Assistive Technology Outcomes and Benefits, 2005
Strategic pooling of assistive technology, human resources and funding options has made meaningful employment possible for the 25-year-old man with cerebral palsy who is the subject of this paper. Since graduating from high school four years ago, he has held a part-time job at the warehouse of a bookseller. To perform his job, which involves…

Hill, Katya – Assistive Technology Outcomes and Benefits, 2006
Case studies are an accepted method for reporting treatment outcomes. However, to be useful and authentic, a systematic and principled approach to collecting, analyzing, and reporting case data must be observed. This paper proposes a basic case study format for documenting augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) intervention to ensure…
