    A new Pocket Speech Aid offers rapid communication for non-vocal individuals. This limited vocabulary device proved highly successful in essential, well-defined situations for the speech impaired.

    Area of Science:

    • Assistive Technology
    • Speech-Language Pathology
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Non-vocal individuals and those with speech impairments often require specialized communication tools.
    • Existing communication aids may not be suitable for all situations, necessitating tailored solutions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the design and construction of a rapid-access, limited vocabulary communication aid.
    • To identify specific situations where such a device is essential for individuals with speech impairments.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a novel communication device, the Pocket Speech Aid.
    • Identification and analysis of distinct communication scenarios requiring assistive technology.
    • Initial evaluation of the device's efficacy in targeted situations.
