    Monitoring augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) use in natural settings is crucial. This study explored using communication partners as data recorders, highlighting challenges in training and data representativeness for AAC users.

    Area of Science:

    • Assistive Technology
    • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
    • Rehabilitation Engineering

    Background:

    • Observing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) system use in clinical settings is important.
    • Monitoring AAC use in natural environments provides valuable data on system effectiveness, communication frequency, and individual needs.
    • Previous research has not fully explored the feasibility of using communication partners as data recorders in naturalistic settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of communication partners as data recorders for individuals with severe physical handicaps who are nonspeaking.
    • To identify challenges associated with training communication partners and determining adequate data collection durations in natural settings.

    Main Methods:

    • A study involving trained observers and minimally trained communication partners observing nonspeaking, severely physically handicapped subjects in their natural environments (home, school, treatment).

  • Data collection focused on the use of communication augmentation systems.
  • Evaluation of the training requirements for communication partners and the time needed for representative data sampling.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant challenges were identified regarding the training of communication partners for accurate data recording.
    • The time required to obtain a representative sample of communication interactions in natural settings was a considerable issue.
    • The study highlighted potential limitations in relying solely on communication partners for data collection.

    Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed to refine methods for using communication partners as data collectors in natural settings.
    • Development of automated data collection systems may offer a more reliable solution for capturing communication interactions.
    • Accurate recording of communication interactions in natural settings requires further methodological advancements.
